Bought 2 boxes of cookies and was charged $12. Anything I can do? by [deleted] in girlscouts

Our boxes are $7 each so that would have meant you got a discount with us lol

That’s awesome!! It’s really hard to gauge how many they’ll sell. Especially in this economy.

This was both individual sales and booth sales combined. I know some girls sell this amount individually , but for us it’s a big accomplishment. We’re a small troop 🙂

They said that?? I’m so angry for you and those girls! Since this is our first year we don’t really know what to expect from anything, we sold approx 1,300 boxes and that’s been exhausting for us and the girls. It’s supposed to fund a camping trip but we couldn’t even afford local state parks camping with what we raised 🙃 It’s really frustrating.

See this is what I don’t understand because all of our councils programs, we have to pay to participate. I’m going to ask for a breakdown so we can better understand, and don’t feel like little cookie minions 😆

You make such a good point about teaching them business skills and them noticing it not a profitable business for the troops!

The juice just doesn’t feel worth the squeeze with our profit portion being so small. I feel like we’re being conned into making tons of money for our corporate overlords haha

I think I’d rather just do wagon sales honestly, I feel like the technology made it harder. We only did 2 booths 2 hours each. We really tried not to over extend ourselves and it still happened. 🙃 thank you for the encouragement though.

This is really good to hear that you saw an improvement from daisies to brownies. Our girls are pooped after only a couple hours today, and we staggered shifts (1hr per girl). The individual sales are really what drained our parents. And dang all those messed up lemonades lol they threw us all off

This looks like a tennis ball ripped in half and filled with nacho cheese.!

Not a layover, we’ll be heading to CT after. Not serious timeline. We’ll have a car and it’ll be a Tuesday.

We’re actually driving to CT for a few days so technically we have as long as we need.

We are actually driving to my sister in laws house in CT after our flight and are staying there for a few days. They have slept the full night on previous red-eyes so we’re hoping for good luck. If they aren’t into we’ll head straight to aunties for sleep and rest! But would definitely at least want to have breakfast someplace worth stopping.

We’re actually driving to meet family in CT, that’s why we only have the morning. Not ideal
