When it was $4/box, the troop got something like $0.63 per box. The rest goes to council. I don’t know how much went to the manufacturer.

Just over $2.50 goes to the manufacturer.

My daughter's troop will get $1.05 a box based on meeting certain targets.

Exactly. A tiny portion goes to the troop. Donate $5 directly to the troop. And the troop to troop donations are a joke. I heard of some local base that has more gs cookies than they know what to do with. It is a scheme to make money for the organization.

The new lemon ones are an especially small box, but decently tasty. I still prefer savannah smiles.

I heard they use lower quality ingredients these days too.

I just got my 2 boxes today. I paid $5 for 12 little cookies. Ugh.

The National Capital Council raised its prices this year to $5 a box (there are two varieties that are $6). My mom said the booths by her (Philly suburbs) are still charging $4.

I stopped buying them several years ago - I'm not paying over $6 for a box of mediocre cookies. $4 would be fine. $5 would be my limit.

Is it just me or are they charging more for less cookies?
