Looks like breakfast. Might save some for dessert.

I can confidently predict there will be a bunch of smiles on cookie fans and Girl Scouts in New Mexico in the very near future. Smile

All pre-sold? Eek
We got a huge stock our first year not realizing we couldn't return what didn't sell.
Luckily it was only about $200 at the end.
Now we just pick up what's sold.

Edit: Missed that that's troop stock.

Our troop leader is the area pantry, so she stocks for multiple troops, insane stacks of cookie cases.

I never considered the space that one troop's cookie sales might take up. Just the other day, while devouring a fresh box of Thin Mints, I wondered if parents are reimbursed for the significant time, materials, and mileage in assembling, labeling, and delivering individual cookie orders. Smile

Its interesting though - some of the cookies you have look the same as the ones here locally but are named differently. The Tagalongs are called Peanut Butter Patties - the Trefoils are called Shortbread - the Samoa's, Carmel Delights.


2 different bakeries. Each council gets to choose which bakery they order from. There are differences in almost all of the cookies.

Offer free shipping to Colorado and you’ll have your garage back by the weekend.

Anyone got a guess as to how much weight that translates into. You know the old formula, 3500 calories means a pound of blubber?

Yeah, my wife came home with 2 boxes of thin mints the other day. What was I supposed to do the next day?

Have you tried the thin mints lately? Frown

The flavor and texture have changed......more "grahamcracker-like" in texture, diff flavor.
They are dead to me..............


I still have three boxes in the freezer and half a gallon of milk.

Different bakers & different names for some of the cookies.

We get ours from the other baker than the OP.

Maybe we can work something out. Do you have any smokeless powder? Smile

They aren’t pre-sold. The troop decides how many they want to order, we pick them up at a distributor, then they sell as many as they can. Leftovers can be returned, but we try to ensure we don’t have any.

The protection is holding the phone taking the picture. Wink

I’ve been good all year; I got one case of Thin Mints last year that lasted all the way until the start of this cookie season. I hope to repeat that.
