The Savanah Smiles are like Lemon Coolers , which yes are still made and sold. I have no will power against the cookie asile, which in my local favorite stores, is also the same as the start of the frozen coolers for vegetables. I get sample boxes as a GS of A leader, though I do not have an active troop. I think the local troops specifically target my local stores on my grocery shopping days. They know I am a sucker. The older siblings of daughter’s Tae Kwon Do class, they hit me up, and some of the blackbelt students. I have personally funded over night trips for these troops. But I send a lot of cookies to soldiers overseas. I do not eat them all. Just about 2 boxes for every one sent or shared. My weakness- Samoa’s and Tagalongs (a.k.a Peanut butter sandwich). By the way- for future reference, you can order/buy cookies on line during season. I kid you not- ORDER ONLINE girl scout cookies? The GS of A started that a few years ago. That is the epitome of evil, they are delivered to your door and secure online shopping….
@gina WHAT!!!!!!! I can order them online???? My butt will never recover. I like your 2:1 ratio with the shared cookies (one box for you, two boxes for me). Its a good idea to send them to the troops tho. I might have to pass some along. I mean, I know I’ll end buying some because even if I avoid the girls, they always show up at Harry’s work and he is a bigger sucker than I am.
