On Sunday the granddaughter of one of our guild members was at my door selling Girl Scout cookies. Her grandmother was in the car yelling to me I needed to buy lots of cookies. I felt a lot of pressure from her. I bought 3 boxes. After she left I gave them away to family and neighbors. (We can't even kept them in the house)
Today I was talking to my daughter in Virginia. She had to buy a couple of boxes outside the local Walmart. She paid $3.00 a box. I'm in California and paid $4.00 a box. I'm just curious how much do they cost in your area? I'm a little shocked at the cost difference.

They are even more expensive here.$4.50...I think that the different councils are allowed to set there own prices.

$4 in Orange County, CA.
Each GS Council makes their own arrangements with one of a small number of authorized bakeries, and sets their own price. Part of the price you pay goes to the girl's troop, part to the Council for administrative expenses including leader training.

$3.50 a box in Alabama. I thought they cost the same everywhere; guess not.

$4.00 per box in Central California. They have been the same price for 2 years now.

$4 in OC where my niece is. Someone already said that. I'm not sure how much they are in my town, probably the same!

Local Girl Scout Counsils are allowed to set the selling price....but all the profit made from the cookies goes to the girls programs

I just bought some from my oldest DGD; they were $3.50 a box (in Texas).
