I buy Grasshoppers two bags at a time (2 for $4) I need help! :)
I do too...you must get them at Wal Mart like I do....we need to form a support group for Thin Mint Addicts or TMA...
It's interesting that you would stoop to making a personal comment rather than think twice about what the National Council is duping you and your child into supporting.
Oh, and just so you know, when a Girl Scout comes to my door I tell her and her accompanying parent that I would prefer not to buy cookies because of the groups that the National and Regional Councils support, and that I would prefer to make a donation just for the local troop's activities directly.
I'm sure my donation is many times what they make off a regular customer's cookie purchase, because I get a big smile and a thank you.
I've always given the girl scouts a twenty when their selling season starts. I've never been concerned how many boxes of cookies they give me; I'm giving a $20 to them. This year it was five boxes. Last year they tried to give me change.
You're right. I apologize for making a personal comment. I'm not feeling very patient today. The girls, at least in our troop, look forward to cookie sales. It's the only fundraiser of any kind they look forward to, and not because of the money they raise.
Cookie sales also support my local economy, because at least a portion of them are made here in town.
So, please accept my apology.
Your gracious apology is immediately accepted.
