FS: Girl Scout Cookies

Do you love Girl Scout Cookies but are you outside the range of a regular Girls Scout Cookie sales?
Is your time too limited to find a local source and you think you are going to miss out on your favorite Girl Scout Cookies?
Would you like to send a gift of Girl Scout Cookies to a special person or place?

If any of these questions is a yes then the troop Alexa (my daughter) belongs to is now selling 2011 Girl Scout Cookies and would like to help with your Girl Scout Cookie cravings and gifts.

The price is the same $4 per box available anywhere.

Shipping will be via the lowest possible cost to your door. Probably via USPS. Estimated at $2.60 for the first box and $1.50 for each additional box for CONUS locations.
Let us know if your cookie cravings demand a faster shipping preference.
International inquires welcome too if you really must have them. But it is probably going to be pricey to ship. (When I was single that didn't stop my Thin Mint orders!)

Payment: Paypal, cash, money order, check (ship after it clears)

Here is the 2011 variety list:

Trefoils:

Even if you don't buy Girl Scout Cookie via the Troop Alexa belongs to I highly encourage you to find them in your local area. Here is a locator.

In case you are wondering here are some facts I I didn't know till last year. It's probably one of the best product to donation ratios anywhere.

"Q: When I buy Girl Scout Cookies, where does the money go?

A: With every purchase, approximately 70% of the proceeds stays in the local Girl Scout council to provide a portion of the resources needed to support Girl Scouting in that area, including the portion that goes directly to the group selling the cookies. The balance goes directly to the baker to pay for the cookies."

"Q: How does the cookie revenue benefit girls?

A: All of the revenue earned from cookie activities —every penny after paying the baker—stays with the local Girl Scout council that sponsors the sale. This includes the portion that goes directly to the group selling cookies. Councils use their cookie revenue to supply essential services to troops, groups, and individual girls, such as providing program resources and communication support, training adult volunteers, and conducting special events. The Girl Scout council's volunteer board of directors:

* Chooses the baker
* Determines the price per box
* Decides how this revenue will be used to provide vital services—such as adult recruitment and training and operation of camps and service centers—and other indirect expenses
* Decides how much money will be returned to groups selling cookies for their projects and activities"

Great organization and I'd definitely buy a few boxed to support but we already have more than I should be eating.

Good Luck!
 
Holy crap what an awesome idea! (and underhanded tactic to boost sales :D)

You have my approval OP... And I am telling myself I don't need 48 boxes of Caramel DeLites.
 
Legal crack right here in the forums! What next?! I'd be on it but I'd have nieces that would have my jewels in a sling. ;)
