Attention Austin-Area Friends: Would you like to be my best friend for a day? It's for a good cause. :)

Real Estate Broker/Owner with Austin Texas Homes, LLC 453249

I'm curious to see if this will bring results or not.  If not, no harm done.  If so, I can help out a good cause and my daughter at the same time.

If you live in the general Austin area, let me know if you would like to buy some Girl Scout Cookies.  My 8-year-old daughter is selling them for the first time this year.

If you buy at least three boxes ($10.50 or more), and you live/work in the Austin metro area, my daughter and I will deliver them to you at your home or office (your choice). 

By the way, I already know what you're thinking.  YES!  They are still just as delicious as you remember them.  In fact, you might be doing my waistline a service by getting them out of my house.  They are really, really good. 

The cost?  $3.50 per box. 

The sale is still going on for almost two weeks, from what I understand, so time is of the essence.  They've even added some new cookies to the old favorites.  Meet the cookies here (but buy them from us if you are in/near Austin): http://www.girlscoutcookies.org/

Help me demonstrate the power of social media and blogging.  :)  They also make great gifts. 

 

Quick update: If you are dieting, or you live too far away to take advantage of this, you can also donate to help the cause, and the cookies will be sent to our troops stationed overseas:

Darn, Jason, I'd buy them.....I always look for Girl Scout cookies but they don't come around anymore.  I was always stocking up on them to get me through the year :)

Jason ---- I love the girl scout cookies -- especially the mint ones -- I have ordered several boxes here in Charleston.  Best of luck.

Unfortunately, I have to buy way too many boxes of those evil cookies because I have 6 nieces. After they leave, I send have of those cookies out back for the deer to enjoy.

Jason - Great picture of the Caramel Delite!  And we have a freezer full of G.S. cookies since it is always wonderful to support a Girl Scout plus the cookies are delish.

Jason:  YUM!  I can't wait to get the Girl Scout cookies I ordered.  In December, the day after our FIRST blizzard, a cute neighborhood girl and her Mom were trudging through snow, going door to door with their order form.  I had to applaud that effort.  And the Girl Scout cookie product made it all the easier.  Good luck to your daughter.

I remember selling these as a kid.  My dad never helped though.  I door-knocked.  Your daughter's a lucky little girl.

I have shared this on other "cookie selling parents posts" so I will share here as well.  The hubs is a sucker for Girl Scout cookies, because that is how we met.  Before your mind wanders where it shouldn't, I was a 16 yr. old GS, selling on the front porch of the store where he was a 17 yr. old grocery sacker!

I love the Caramel Delites too, but I have to confess... at first glance, that larger-than-lifesize pic looked like THE most amazing DONUT I've ever seen!
