Sounds like she could have a good political carreer.

Is this why the cookies have gone up to $4 a box this year!

8:10 you took the words right out of my mouth. Has anyone noticed how the sleeve of cookies are smaller than they used to be,but cost more? I would feel better about spending this money, if I knew the girls were getting a much bigger portion of the money.

If you want to support the Girl Scouts, write the TROOP a check!
They only get a tiny bit of the money you spend to buy the cookies and just like previous commenters have said, the price keeps going up (just like everything else) and the portions have gotten smaller (just like everything else).
