      I noticed that around here, too. I've always loved Thin Mints, so I was thrilled when I discovered Grasshoppers. Now I don't have to buy a year's worth of TMs during cookie season. *lol*

        are do-si-dos the peanut butter ones? Those and trefoils, the shortbread cookies, are amazing. I like to freeze them and eat them cold. Call me weird, but it's a pretty special experience.

          Alot of girl scout cookie sellers don't like this iformation to be made public but it's a fact that the Keebler company shuts down their entire plant for 1 whole month a year as they are one of the main suppliers of girl scout cookies. That's why the mint grasshoppers taste just like thin mints and if you've notice they have a cookie, can't recall the name, but it's exactly the same as the samoas. And keebler is much cheaper than girl scout cookies. I did my due diligence to support the scouts and bought my usual 10 boxes but I also am going to keep in mind that I can now get them all year round from keebler

            If you really really want to support your local troop (speaking as a troop leader), take that $30-$40 that you buy cookies with and give that directly to your troop in the form of a check. The troop gets the entire amount. When we sell cookies we get only 50 cents a box, or $5 off of your 10 boxes.

            You can not claim cookies on taxes, but a straight donation you can. We have a diabetic man that gives us $$ each year, to go towards someones camp fees that otherwise may not be able to go to camp. He gets a donation credit, girl gets camp, and he saves his blood sugar!

              I agree, I think making a direct donation to the girl scouts is the way to go.

                      How is it that lemon drop cookies haven't been mentioned here. I love them but I love just a bout all the flavors.
