NEED GIRL SCOUT COOKIES

[summie77]

Does anyone know where I can still buy girl scout cookies? I haven't seen them outside of any supermarkets, etc., and I am in desperate need of Thin Mints and Do-si-Dos...

[Emme]

Saw them today at :

Pavillion's at Vine and Melrose

Ralph's on Vineland and Ventura

[Debbie W]

Inside the California Chicken Cafe in Encino last Saturday and again today. Yes, I eat lunch there a lot.

The Mar Vista Farmer's Market on Sunday Mornings... Venice and Grandview

Hit up www.girlscoutcookies.org and it will connect you with at least the phone number of your local council. Some councils, including Angeles Girl Scout Council, which covers most of L.A. will be able to tell you the date, time, and location of area troops' cookie booths... or you can actually buy them at the Council offices.

There was sum GS's at the Rite Aid on Riverside Ave near Valley Village last weekend. I'll keep my eye on it 8)

How desperate are you?

LOL! I was close to being THAT desperate!

On sunday, they were in front of the Best Buy in West LA.

I was sad to see that the Samoas have been renamed in some sort of PC revision. I had never actually gone to the trouble of associating the cookie with the country... and on retrospect, I like both very much, so I don't see the problem.

[PrettyPlaty]

I bought samoas from my crim law professor (who is also a girl scout troop leader and shamelessly sold them in the classroom) and they were still called samoas.

[Miketsu]

I have a box in my pantry right now (but not for long!) and they're still called Samoas. I think the photo on the box is the same also...those girls must be pushing thirty by now. :-)

[glutton]

I have now seen boxes that say Samoas and boxes that say Caramel Delites. I'm starting to wonder if the Samoas are just left over from last year... I eat the Samoas frozen for some reason, so I'm not sure I could tell the difference between a fresh and a year-old Samoa.

[Miketsu]

I was curious, so I Googled it. Several sources say that the two names are because the cookies are produced by two different bakeries and there are very slight differences between the two cookies. Samoas are made by Little Brownie Bakers and Caramel deLites are from ABC Bakers. Nothing to do with being politically correct. Each Girl Scout Council chooses which bakery to buy from (not sure what the criteria are). Since the LA area has several Councils, we might see different names around town, depending on where we go. Apparently I have WAY too much free time. :-)

[Jack Flash]

I've never even heard of Caramel DeLites. My girl scout's troop sells the Samoas.

[glutton]

Very reassuring.... thanks for doing the legwork. I have not been able to identify a discernible difference between the samoas and caramel delites, for what it's worth.

GF got em from paseo pasadena

[Clyde]

I saw them on Larchmont on Sunday, around Rite Aid. Also have seen them at the Briston Farms on Doheny/Beverly.

[Michelle]

They were in front of the Ralph's supermarket in Monrovia last Sunday. I bought 2 boxes, which showed considerable restraint, haha!

[hpcat]

I also saw them in front of the Vons on N. Figueroa near Colorado in Eagle Rock.

[slacker]

They're always in front of the South Pasadena Pavilions around this time. You mean there's no one at your work selling them for their kid...

[LAcupcake]

at the Westfield Macy's only mall (just before the giant Nordstrom and soon to be Neiman Marcus mall) in Topanga.

[Jack Flash]

Probably in front of the Pasadena/San Marino HOWS market on the weekend. They're usually there.

[Emme]

Been outside of Ralph's on Olympic and Cloverfield religiously, making me feel guilty almost daily...

[eileen216]

I just bought some Thin Mints last Saturday! The cutest girl scouts were selling cookies inside Santa Anita Mall in Arcadia inside the food court entrance.

[LMelba]

In addition to TJ's in Culver City, I saw them outside TJs in Studio City

[Fru]

Definitely at the Saturday Farmers' Market at Pasadena High School.

[summie77]

Thanks --- sounds like I'll be able to stock up! :)

[fdb]

Try their new flavor..Lemon Chalet Cream. So good.

[WildSwede]

Yep, definitely there. Also, they will be in front of Vroman's on Colorado this weekend. I can get some from a guy at work whose wife works for the SGV chapter if you can't find any.

[wutzizname]

Saw them outside the Bristol Farms on Beverly Blvd. a few days ago. Also in Pasadena, on Colorado near the Apple Store, on Sunday.

[LaLa Eat]

Girl Scouts were out in full force in front of Petco in Glendale this last weekend.

[gadflier]

My wife said the exact same thing Sunday outside the supermarket. Anyone have a Culver City lead?

[LMelba]

Sunday afternoon the girl scouts were infront of TJs in Culver City.
