Darn it! They usually don't sell at our stores until late February/early March. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-a-girlscout-personally-sold-you-cookies-this-year#post-2436977 Tue, 26 Jan 2016 00:19:56 +0000 T-Mom 2436977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD is selling cookies for the first time this year. She has walked several streets in our neighborhood. It took us several weekends to do this and half of the people were not home. It's actually a pretty big effort to go door to door, because after the order arrives, we have to go back out and deliver all of these cookies, and we aren't allowed to take $$ until delivery. So if people aren't home, we have to come back. Cookie booths are very popular with troops because the customer gets the cookies immediately and you get paid immediately. I took an order form to work and included a note that my DD wrote. Also, we earn only about $0.60 on the box for the troop so.. you really have to sell a lot of cookies to make it worthwhile. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-a-girlscout-personally-sold-you-cookies-this-year#post-2436889 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 21:50:24 +0000 mrschickpea 2436889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They were outside my favorite restaurant Saturday morning so I bought a few :shocked: None have come to the house yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-a-girlscout-personally-sold-you-cookies-this-year#post-2436804 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 20:54:38 +0000 rattles 2436804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only buy from my nieces and the girls who sell in person (like the neighbor girl who came to my door this year). My parents always made me sell myself, and I still have a chip on my shoulder about all of my friends whose parents took a signup to work on their behalf, ha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-a-girlscout-personally-sold-you-cookies-this-year#post-2436748 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 19:57:50 +0000 lawbee11 2436748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought some from a co-worker selling for her daughter. It doesn't bother me...I just want my cookies :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-a-girlscout-personally-sold-you-cookies-this-year#post-2436744 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 19:53:30 +0000 mrsjyw 2436744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just a coworker selling for her daughter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-a-girlscout-personally-sold-you-cookies-this-year#post-2436738 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 19:50:11 +0000 Miss Ariel 2436738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought some from a coworkers daughter, so since I don't really know her daughter I wouldn't expect her to ask me directly.</p> <p>Also as pp have said they don't normally sell at stores till after when the boxes arrive.</p> <p>Also our council switched bakers this year so while I'm a little disappointed to not have my normal favorites, I'm curious what caramel delights, lemonades, and the rest will taste like. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-a-girlscout-personally-sold-you-cookies-this-year#post-2436688 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 18:44:25 +0000 jill_a55 2436688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had one come to our door last week with a wagon full! Nearly bought her out 🙊 I was at my sisters house a few days later and one came to her door too. Its been a while since I had seen them with the actual cookies ready to go (besides at the grocery store) so that was cool. I live in Arizona though, so no weather issues to worry about with door to door selling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-a-girlscout-personally-sold-you-cookies-this-year#post-2436681 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 18:37:49 +0000 DesertDreams88 2436681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I restricted my buying to the girls only instead of the girls' parents, I wouldn't get any cookies sooooo....... haha. I know 3 Girl Scouts. With all of them, the parents posted on FB something along the lines of "My daughter is selling girl scout cookies, let me know if you want some!" With one of the 3, they included a video of the girl scout "pitching" the cookies and the sales. </p> <p>My parents helped me when I was a GS by posting the order form in their workplaces. I brought the form to family gatherings but did not sell door-to-door. My parents helped me organize the orders, count up the money, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-a-girlscout-personally-sold-you-cookies-this-year#post-2436679 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 18:37:13 +0000 MrsRcCar 2436679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought from a little girl who's mom is in my moms group. I usually see them just haven't seen them lately. We don't live near enough to each other to see daily. I don't mind buying over the web, however it defeats the purpose of learning to sell and set goals. To be fair my parents always took the sheets to work for people to order. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-a-girlscout-personally-sold-you-cookies-this-year#post-2436676 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 18:33:58 +0000 Tanjowen 2436676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LaughLines: Same. I give my neice a pass since she's in another state, but she still has to call. Which she just did, and it was super cute, and now I'm the proud owner of a bunch of cookies. Bring on the tagalongs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-a-girlscout-personally-sold-you-cookies-this-year#post-2436540 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 16:26:14 +0000 LaughLines 2436540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a personal policy that i only buy from the girl scouts, not the parents. My 8 year old cousin emailed me from her mom's email accout and i counted that, but otherwise, only in person and not from the parents. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-a-girlscout-personally-sold-you-cookies-this-year#post-2436531 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 16:20:18 +0000 Modern Daisy 2436531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They have a table set up underground at my train station but I rarely see a Girl Scout there, it's mostly moms. Other than that I just get order forms passed around at work! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-a-girlscout-personally-sold-you-cookies-this-year#post-2436475 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 15:59:56 +0000 littlebug 2436475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope.

We did. We haven't seen them at stores yet though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-a-girlscout-personally-sold-you-cookies-this-year#post-2436417 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 15:16:23 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2436417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't seen the girl that sells in my neighborhood yet this year. I was out of town last week. I hope I haven't missed her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-a-girlscout-personally-sold-you-cookies-this-year#post-2436413 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 15:14:50 +0000 pastemoo 2436413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Tanjowen: I'm not a fan of the online link. Dude, if you want me to buy your cookies, and I can't see the cute kid behind the sale, I'm not buying. Pictures of the cute kid don't count. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-a-girlscout-personally-sold-you-cookies-this-year#post-2436406 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 15:10:23 +0000 sleepybear 2436406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a FB friend who posted a link to her daughter's cookie page (she probably posted it for out of state family to be able to order), and there's a house around the corner from me that has a table set up outside to sell cookies but they've been 'closed' whenever I've driven by. </p> <p>I'm really hoping someone comes door to door soon - I want some Samoas, but prefer buying from the Girl Scout who's actually selling cookies herself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-a-girlscout-personally-sold-you-cookies-this-year#post-2436370 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 14:45:49 +0000 Mommy Finger 2436370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My neighbors' daughter stopped by a week or two ago. I wasn't approached at all last year. I will not buy items like this from the parents. I will always buy from kids who sell directly. I mean, unless it's a boy scout selling popcorn. I hate that stuff. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-a-girlscout-personally-sold-you-cookies-this-year#post-2436316 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 14:22:54 +0000 woodentulip 2436316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, I have been, but my daughter is in Sparks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-a-girlscout-personally-sold-you-cookies-this-year#post-2436301 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 14:14:03 +0000 autumnleaves 2436301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've only been approached by coworkers who have not brought their kids in to sell the cookies. I am not sure if the ice/snow delayed them from selling at the grocery stores. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-a-girlscout-personally-sold-you-cookies-this-year#post-2436294 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 14:11:41 +0000 TrailRunner 2436294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've only seen posts in our neighborhood page and other community pages saying, "my daughter is really shy...here's her link". :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-a-girlscout-personally-sold-you-cookies-this-year#post-2436253 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 13:54:42 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2436253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have seen the cookies sold outside of the grocery store, but not a single Girl Scout has approached me. I wish one of the young ladies would speak up! </p> <p>Back in my day we went door to door selling our cookies that would be so convenient right about now with the weather being so cold! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-a-girlscout-personally-sold-you-cookies-this-year#post-2436251 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 13:53:45 +0000 babypugs 2436251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't like Girl Scout cookies at all and avoid store entrances where they're camped out. It makes me feel like a terrible person to turn them down. If one knocked on my door I would buy some just to be nice--I wish one would, because I think it's sweet! But I totally understand why people don't let their kids sell door to door anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-a-girlscout-personally-sold-you-cookies-this-year#post-2436250 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 13:53:11 +0000 Tanjowen 2436250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Corduroy: That's what I was wondering - good to know, thanks! I love stopping and buying from them at our grocery store. They are all so serious at first, and then excited when you purchase. Makes me feel good to help out :silly: </p> <p>@Madison43: I recently moved into a large neighborhood with lots of kids, so I am really surprised I haven't had any stop by and ask yet! And I know there are 3 girls at my church in Girlscouts, but they haven't asked either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-a-girlscout-personally-sold-you-cookies-this-year#post-2436235 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 13:45:40 +0000 Smurfette 2436235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! One came to our door, a neighbor, so I felt like I had to order some. I would have rather order from my cousin's kids that started Girl Scouts this year. </p>
