It's almost the end of winter (although it doesn't feel like it) and personally one of my favorite times of the year is when I head to my local supermarket only to discover the Girl Scouts are out front slangin cookies. My favorite are the Tagalongs.
This year though, select Girl Scout cookies will contain less cookies in the box than in years past according to The Dallas Morning News. What's the reasoning? As with everything else these days, a struggling economy paired with rising cost of operation. Other options included raising the price of the cookies or to use lower quality ingredients.
So, as you buy your Thin Mints, Do-si-dos and Tagalongs (Don't worry Samoa lovers, your cookies contain as many as there ever were), do so knowing you're still donating toward a great cause, which is the spirit in which the Girl Scout cookies were intended.
