That means your favorite box of Samoas that used to sell for $5 will soon cost $6 in many parts of the United States."Just like many other products that you see out in the world, our Girl Scout cookies are not immune to a lot of the same rising costs," says Wendy Lou, chief revenue officer for Girl Scouts of the USA.
Ten-year-old Madison Patstone had already memorized the cost of up to 12 boxes of cookies at the old $5-per-box price. Now, she has to multiply by $6 — and carry a lot of $1 bills to make change. Madison still managed to sell more than 2,400 boxes this year, making her one of the top sellers in San Diego.
Each council sets its own cookie prices, but neighboring councils often move together in what might be called the"Tagalong effect." Girl Scout councils throughout California adopted a standard cookie price of $6 a box this year. They saw little, if any, drop in sales.
