I was just informed by the Wife that I buy to many Girl Scout Cookies and that I should cut back a little.
Last year I spent around $210 (60 boxes) on Girl Scout Cookies. I put them in the freezer and that lasts me about a year. I have eaten the last box from last year about 2 weeks ago.
Well, this year I am currently at $140 (40 boxes) and this weekend they start setting up the stand in front of Lowe's and Home Depot. That means I will make a trip to one of them and buy some more. I like to support the local girls and then go out and support other troups. Girls Scouts are good for the girls and who am I not to support them.
I LOVE Girl Scout Cookies and believe that stocking up the freezer with a years worth is better than running out and then hunting through the back allys looking for some.
Now, the Wife says that 60 boxes of cookies in the freezer 1) takes up to much room, 2) is a waste of money, cause you can go to the store and buy cookies if you want them (note: not Girl Scout cookies though) 3) an obsession that is getting out of control.
I have told her I can stop eating them at anytime, but I just choose not to. How can you say no to some ice cold milk and a box of thin mints? Or a good cup of hot coffee and a box of Lemon Coolers (reduced fat, means healthy).
I just don't get it.
Help.... do you really think spending around $200 on Girl Scout cookies is wrong?
