Especially since they just raised the prices! It does seem like a pretty weak return to the troop. I love girl scout cookies though. The peanut butter sandwich cookies are my favorite followed closely by thin mints. Sounds like she has a lot of hustle! You have reason to be proud!
Thanks @bozz , she does have some hustle and drive; and of the boxes sold so far I and my wife am only responsible for selling four boxes, she truly has done this on her own. The prices here are the same as last year, but I do know that the prices vary around the country and the cookie selections do as well. Here the boxes are $4.00 each.
I just remember them being $3.00, then it was $3.50, and now it is $4.00 like you said, but then there are some "premium" cookies that are a little more expensive too. New flavors that they just recently added I feel like. My wife and I are lucky we just have a dog. My kid would be selling the bulk of her cookies just for me to eat!
We got into that trap of eating more than we wanted too, so each family member gets one box of their choice and that is it. Not only has the pricing increased over the years but the net weight has reduced on the package sizes so the price increases are actually more than reflected in just the sales prices.
Good point on the volume/cost ratio. My wife buys them from kids at school sometimes and usually hides them on me just to be safe.
