Girl Scout Cookie Prices

Girl Scout Cookie Prices - What are they selling for in the San Francisco Bay Area?

It'll be pretty embarrassing when someone links girlscouts.org/cookie_prices.html, but a cursory search didn't turn up anything. You may need to ask an actual girl scout for this info.

Best answer: Last time I bought some I think it was $6 a box. On the Berkeley campus.

Also they were yelling “Girl Scout cookies! We take credit cards!”

Best answer: Prices are indeed different in different Councils. From the Girl Scouts of Northern California family cookie guide: $5 for standard cookies, $6 for the special cookies.

Best answer: I'm picking mine up today (yum!) from a work colleague in SF, and can confirm phunniemee's price link.

$5 for standard cookies, $6 for the special cookies.

Wow. I usually pay a lot more than that for special cookies in the Bay Area.

Best answer: $5 standard / $6 special at the unSafeway on La Playa in the Outer Richmond nabe of SF. Also, nobody ever appreciates my standard joke of "ARE THESE MADE FROM REAL GIRL SCOUTS?"

I'm buying 5 boxes I should get a laugh for that.
