[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's March 2019 and because the cost went up a full dollar per box from last year, our family only bought two boxes from the neighbor's girl -- tagolongs and somoas (where before I spent the full $20 on five boxes; one going to the military overseas). Both boxes only contain 15 cookies. In the case of the tagolongs, the amount of empty space to cookie was 40/60 percent. We hate to not support our neighbor's child but this year is has been our last. To charge a dollar more and give less product takes nerve. It is also up to each chapter to set the price of each item which is why the child of my friend in South Jersey sold her boxes for $4 instead of $5 a box (except for the gluten-free cookies, which would be $5 instead of my area's $6 a box. I intend to write GSA and let them know. The tough one is telling the next door neighbor we have to stop supporting them.[/quote] I agree. I am a good generous cookie buyer and have been for years. I usually buy 6 per girl scout on my street, which translates to somewhere between 18 to 24 boxes of cookies depending on the year. My teen boys take care of them fairly quickly, but this year they were so tiny and thin, with so few cookies in the box, that they were gone in days. I have never seen such small, skimpy boxes of cookies. Shame on the cookie manufacturer. They are taking everyone for a ride. I think I am out for next year. I will buy one token box per girl, then give $20.00 to her troop.[/quote]
