How much were they again?

We were at the grocery today and, alas, it's Girl Scout Cookie time again.  Far be it from us to walk by that stand and not buy some.  But we were a little taken aback by the price.  $3.25 a box!  We know it goes for a good cause though.

Back in the land before time, when Andi was a Brownie and Girl Scout, it seems the going price for a box of cookies was about 50 cents so you had to sell hundreds of boxes to make any real money for the troop.  But we're not sure what the actual price was then - back in the late 50's and early 60's.  If anyone knows, please comment.

And we'd like to say right now that our all time favorite is Thin Mints.  Followed closely by Samoans.  Remember Trefoils?  Don't think they have those anymore.  And we're not really fond of some of the new ones - that peanut butter one is not our favorite.

But we're sure glad this only comes around once a year.  At $3.25 a box we don't think the budget would stand a weekly trip past that stand.
