The Great Cookie Price Hike of 2024
Tip: Skim only after you’ve read fully once.
Brace yourselves, cookie connoisseurs. This year, Girl Scout cookies across the nation have undergone a price adjustment (translation: they're a tad more expensive). Fear not, the increase is just a dollar, bringing the cost of a box to a cool $6.
But Why the Price Hike? Don't They Know We're on a Budget of Dreams and Ice Cream?
Tip: Read actively — ask yourself questions as you go.
Hold on to your hats (or should we say, sashes). The price increase isn't some evil plot by the Girl Scouts to deplete your bank account. It's actually to ensure the program can keep rolling strong. From maintaining those adorable uniforms to funding amazing troop experiences, every dollar counts. So, by supporting the cookie program, you're not just indulging your sweet tooth, you're helping young girls develop important life skills like goal setting and, of course, the fine art of convincing people they absolutely need a box (or two) of Tagalongs.
QuickTip: Every section builds on the last.
Is There Any Wiggle Room on the Price?
Unfortunately, the national guidelines set the price at $6. But hey, here's a thought: maybe you can convince a friend to go in on a bulk order? Sharing is caring, right? (Except when it comes to Thin Mints. Those are all yours.)
Tip: Read mindfully — avoid distractions.
