We buy tagalongs for each of us and will split a box of thin mints and do-si-dos. His are lucky to make it 2 days, mine are hidden in the freezer and enjoyed slowly over about a month. Girl Scout cookies are literally the only thing I refuse to share with him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/our-girl-scout-cookies-only-lasted-2-weeks#post-635009 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 16:57:07 +0000 yerpie110 635009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sweetooth: I need too! and omgosh a thin mint shake sounds sooo good. I may not be able to hide the other boxes for long... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/our-girl-scout-cookies-only-lasted-2-weeks#post-635004 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 16:54:50 +0000 sweetooth 635004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: I usually love to have the thin mints in the freezer, but they never made it there this time. Mmmm, frozen thin mints!</p> <p>@yerpie110: hide the other boxes!</p> <p>@mrskc: I think that's a reasonable amount of time. But possibly because of my 4 boxes in 2 weeks timeline :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/our-girl-scout-cookies-only-lasted-2-weeks#post-635000 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 16:52:41 +0000 sweetooth 635000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@matador84: Stay strong! If I didn't have two little adorable girls come knock on my front door, I think I could have been stronger!</p> <p>@lavender: Enjoy every last cookie! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/our-girl-scout-cookies-only-lasted-2-weeks#post-634995 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 16:51:58 +0000 DillonLion 634995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sweetooth: Haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/our-girl-scout-cookies-only-lasted-2-weeks#post-634993 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 16:51:30 +0000 sweetooth 634993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: The title of this post should have been, "How long is your stay in 'Girl Scout Cookieville'?" :)</p> <p>@MsLipGloss: I knew there were people that had willpower! I know a few people that can hold on to these cookies for a long time. A year is amazing!</p> <p>@Anagram: You nailed it on the head with that reference to nostalgia. I can remember eating Tagalongs as a little girl, I love them so much. I'm already dreaming of indulging in one more box before they disappear for a year. // Yay for lots of sweets! :) Everything in moderation, right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/our-girl-scout-cookies-only-lasted-2-weeks#post-634976 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 16:48:30 +0000 sweetooth 634976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@fussygal: I thought about blending some thin mints in with ice cream to make a little thin mint shake. But the thinking is as far as I got!</p> <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I agree with you totally. We're just doing our part to enjoy them at their most fresh and delicious state! :)</p> <p>@spaniellove: Being allergic to these is a good thing. But I would miss my Tagalongs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/our-girl-scout-cookies-only-lasted-2-weeks#post-634968 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 16:46:10 +0000 sweetooth 634968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leialou: You think you'll buy any more? :)</p> <p>@LindsayInNYC: I know, it's quite a jump on the poll :) Kudos for eating them slowly!</p> <p>@blackbird: Sometimes the cookies just disappear, it's like magic! I hope those 8 boxes last you a LONG time :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/our-girl-scout-cookies-only-lasted-2-weeks#post-634089 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 13:12:54 +0000 mrskc 634089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 boxes and they lasted a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/our-girl-scout-cookies-only-lasted-2-weeks#post-634054 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 13:05:49 +0000 yerpie110 634054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sad to admit that I opened one box of thin mints on Sunday and they were destroyed by Monday night! Yikes. Trying to hold off on the other boxes for now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/our-girl-scout-cookies-only-lasted-2-weeks#post-634034 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 13:01:52 +0000 mediagirl 634034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, I had some hiding in the freezer, until my husband said last night: "Where are those cookies you hid in the freezer?" He then pulled out the sleeve of Thin Mints and we devoured them. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/our-girl-scout-cookies-only-lasted-2-weeks#post-633968 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 12:46:51 +0000 lavender 633968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Out of the 4 boxes I got in Feb I have a half sleeve of thin mints left! The caramel delights and thank you's are long gone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/our-girl-scout-cookies-only-lasted-2-weeks#post-633927 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 12:36:37 +0000 matador84 633927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't bought any yet because I know if I do they will last about 2 days! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/our-girl-scout-cookies-only-lasted-2-weeks#post-633906 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 12:32:01 +0000 Anagram 633906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted a month, but I'm just guesstimating because we've only had them in the house a week so far. I also bought 4 boxes, but DH doesn't get the appeal of Girl Scout cookies at all. He didn't grow up in the U.S., so there's no nostalgia factor for him and he just doesn't think they are that good.</p> <p>We also recently had a get together and there are a TON of leftover sweets from that--so I put the GS cookies way up on a high shelf where I can't see them and didn't even think about them again until I saw this thread.</p> <p>So, it's not because I'm being good (the scale knows I'm not), or because I'm not eating sweets (because I am), but just because I have so many other sweets to eat first. ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/our-girl-scout-cookies-only-lasted-2-weeks#post-633898 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 12:30:11 +0000 MsLipGloss 633898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Forever, because we order a ton and eat them a little as we go. We still had a box of Tagalongs in the pantry from last year when this year's order came in! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/our-girl-scout-cookies-only-lasted-2-weeks#post-633895 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 12:29:39 +0000 DillonLion 633895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Two weeks is a long time in Girl Scout Cookieville </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/our-girl-scout-cookies-only-lasted-2-weeks#post-633890 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 12:28:44 +0000 spaniellove 633890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't eat them b/c I'm allergic, but if you made it 2 weeks you did much better than we would have! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/our-girl-scout-cookies-only-lasted-2-weeks#post-633675 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 11:34:45 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 633675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only buy a box at a time and usually empty the box by day 3. I don't trust the celphane sleeve to.keep them fresh after opened, so duh I have to eat them rightaway. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/our-girl-scout-cookies-only-lasted-2-weeks#post-633616 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 11:15:00 +0000 fussygal 633616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, two weeks is admirable! :) We just got two boxes of thin mints this year and I think they lasted just over a week :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/our-girl-scout-cookies-only-lasted-2-weeks#post-633610 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 11:13:23 +0000 blackbird 633610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have 8 boxes so they'll last awhile. </p> <p>I bought two boxes last weekend and they lasted....3 days?...um, yeah. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/our-girl-scout-cookies-only-lasted-2-weeks#post-633596 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 11:09:36 +0000 LindsayInNY 633596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>More than a month but less than forever?</p> <p>We have 5 boxes but manage to eat them slowly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/our-girl-scout-cookies-only-lasted-2-weeks#post-633593 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 11:09:11 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 633593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We received ours around valentines day and I have a half box of thin mints left. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/our-girl-scout-cookies-only-lasted-2-weeks#post-633588 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 11:07:41 +0000 sweetooth 633588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was good and I only ordered 4 boxes. </p> <p>2 Tagalongs<br /> 1 Samoa<br /> 1 Thin Mint</p> <p>I just polished off the Thin Mints. And the 2 Tagalong boxes were all mine. The only box I didn't touch was the Samoas - I let my husband eat all of those (like how I "let" him :) ?). </p> <p>Now I just have to try to avoid all of the adorable Girl Scouts who are out there in full force at the grocery stores.</p> <p>How long do or did your Girl Scout Cookies last in your house? </p>
