My 7 year old is a girl scout and an optimistic one at that. She set her cookie sales goal at 500 boxes. Our road has like 6 houses on it, so that was a wash. Everyday after work and every Saturday and Sunday we went door to door everywhere within driving distance. Today we finished up with 439 boxes sold. She was happy with it but super bummed about not hitting her goal, so I went ahead and bailed her out. 61 boxes or $244.00 in thin mints are now mine.

Can become the next President of General Motors, already knows how to get a bailout.
I just like asking "Are they made with real girl scouts?" |

I'd have gotten some Do-si-dos as well. Can't go wrong with thin mints though

I CAN`T stop at 3, 4, 8, 15...............You get the idea. Once the box is opened................................. Oh, those Thin Mints are better when they have been put in the fridge for a bit! |

Wife just got the 6 boxes of lemon cookies from the GS at church this a.m.
I am thinking thats about 6 cases too few....I think the white powder IS crack and not sugar. I love those things. |

Milk . How much milk ????

|

Ill take some thin mints off your hands brother. I love those things.
Proper serving for me is one tube. Frozen is best with a lot of milk. |

You guys do know that you can buy them all year round at Dollar General. Packaged differently, but the same manufacturer.

I cant remember the last time an actual girl scout was the person who tried to sell me girl scout cookies.
Its usually their parents or parents friends. |

Doesn't GD hate Girl Scouts for some reason?
My kid's in Girl Scouts and I remember a thread a while ago about not buying GS cookies for some reason or another. |

No. You should have never posted that pic`. Preparing all armchair warrior troops as we speak for a clandestine raid. I am sure that we will be caught but it won`t be at that facility. The po-po will have a nice trail of empty boxes and wrappers, to find out where we went. |

GD needs to come up with a clever way for the OP to use one of the boxes in an epic YouTube video and make it go viral so the OP can recover his money for the rest of the boxes.

I will have to research your claim and go into full science mode here. Its for the children. OP, Nestle makes a thin mints chocolate milk. I bought the store out of it more than once of it. |

When my son was in Scouts, I bought cases of microwave popcorn. I would then put them in my customers' break rooms with my card attached. He got the sales and I wrote them off as a biz expense.

My wife wants to know what you have taught your daughter by doing this.
I say big heart,small brain. |
|
Wow so this is how the kids who try to so things on their own, don't win.
Their parents bail them out of petty fundraisera Good job trailer dad. Way to teach a lesson. |
|
Now take the girl scout troop down to an old folks home and give away the 61 boxes.
