Girl scout troops are heavily pressured to sell a lot of cookies.
The troops only get something like $0.25 for every box sold. There are better ways to make money for your troop... like a straight up bake sale.
Many parents find the whole thing immensely irritating.
The tables outside retail places is the most efficient way to move cookies.I think a lot of troops would opt out if they could.

If it's all about taste, just go to your local Dollar General.
They have other flavors, too.

@skutfarcus : Oh dear lord... And I live just a block from one

I'm not a huge fan of the Girl Scouts. I dealt with the local hierarchy when I worked for the Tri-County Urban League back in the 80s. We raised 3 daughters and my wife was a leader. I could tell some stories.

@kraziebill : Let us know what you think.

Am I the only one who doesn't like Girl Scout Cookies? There are so many better cookies in the world.

I quit liking Girl Scout cookies when I had to help deliver hundreds of boxes every time it was cookie season. As a big brother I was forced into cookie distribution slavery. I wasn't a volunteer and I want reparations!

I buy them, but have them donated to our armed forces. I was a Girl Scout and have a sense of duty where cookie sales are involved. I like the Great Value cookies from Walmart. The coconut ones and peanut butter fudge patties are just as good and cheap!

@skutfarcus : Picked up the "thin mint" and the "peanut butter sandwich". I'd say the thin mint were pretty spot on. PB sandwich, not so much, but for a $1 for the package, I won't complain. Will try a few others next go-around.

We still have 2-3 boxes of GS cookies, including Thin Mints, in our freezer, probably since 2016.

I really luv the GS Thin Mints. But, a couple of months ago we found some cookies at Kroger's that tasted the same/were just as good.

@jannn1959 : I've done that in the past when I had employees/friends who had children deployed. Bless you for doing this!❤️❤️

We bought GS cookies from 2 different young girls 2 years apart. They live in the neighborhood and both have very nice parents. One time was 2014 and next was later. Still waiting for them to be delivered. I don't care for the cookies, will never ask for my money back and still enjoy the parents. I just say NO when approached by little sales girls. It is true, dollar general sales those cookies. Probably made at same place.
