My internet is out and cell service is not great for whatever reason. (Normally it's fine. I don't know.) It took me several tries today to get this place to load, so I might not be around much until the internet is fixed.

What a nice picture mrsweasley, you look great! I'm sorry you're having internet issues enchanted, that's so frustrating.

The delayed online shipping sales, a bunch of stuff "sold out" already. It's not like they have a whole year to get ready for this stuff or anything 😒

I do not understand how they didn't even have Samoas and Toffeetastics for shipping to start and then within hours they are out of Raspberry Rallies. I thought the point of having the delayed online sales was to avoid all this. And the shipping fees are ridiculous, at least other councils discounted it for the first weekend. Only 2 more weeks...

Are any of the GS cookies dairy free? 😞 BabyO is making me dairy free and 😢 no treats for me. Actually that’s a lie. I get vegan cookies from WF now and it’s kind of great bc DH won’t touch them and they’re pretty decent so more for me. But aside from those, I miss treats terribly.

Most Graham crackers are and marshmallows plus get dairy free chocolate and you can have smores.

I love - milk chocolate- which, well. Yeah.

There's a Lindt chocolate made with oatmilk And enjoy life has chocolate chips semi sweet that you could use in cookies maybe

And hersheys cocoa powder is dairy free if you have time to make stuff there's recipes for treats that don't use dairy. I'd make you dairy free brownies if I could.

laneandgreyfare.com/recipes/addymac I’ve made a few recipes from this site and the treats definitely hit the spot. I’ve been dairy free for a long time so lmk if you need more ideas.

Depending on the baker- I can’t remember which- at one point Thin Mints were dairy free if I remember correctly.

addymac , I've also been df a long while now too if you need suggestions. I believe there are several GS cookies that are df. The raspberry rallies are, and the new caramel choc chip cookies, if you can find them. Google tells me the lemonades, peanut butter patties, and toast-yay are too. (and the thin mints)

(and the thin mints) Yes, we have 6 vegan cookies this year. They are still processed in the same plant (minus the gluten free), so there may be traces, but for intolerances, should be ok.

And yes, the raspberry rallies have gone out of stock 3 times since we started selling (in December). The bakers definitely have underestimated how popular they would be. They are only baking small-ish batches. And it's for the whole country. A lot of troops are ordering cases to sell in person too, since a lot of people want to try them, but don't want to deal with shipping.

Thin Mints from Little Brownie Bakers are dairy free. That's our bakery if you're interested and they have $5 shipping this week if you order 10-30 boxes or something ridiculous, but I don't want to step on toes since I didn't bring up cookies first

We have basically been threatened with being kicked out of Girl Scouts if we try that. It was a whole thing last year when people did it with the Adventurefuls 🙄

A bunch of people haven't even gotten their orders yet. I personally did not order any cases for our troop, but did not stop my parents from doing it. Anyway, general consensus is that this did not work and please to not do it again.

Anyway, general consensus is that this did not work and please to not do it again. Our council got a very small amount of Rasberry just for taste testing, same with the Adventurefuls last year I think the cookie companies need new management or GS should be looking for other options. The biggest fundraiser shouldn't be this hard

I was bummed about the shipping cost and the threshold for free shipping. I bought some locally for delivery but also from my niece. The shipping cost was so much I just asked for them to either donate or save the cookies for me when I see them next.

The biggest fundraiser shouldn't be this hard We were able to sell Adventurefuls in person last year. But I guess we're earlier than you. We ran out quickly and they were impossible to get in the later part of the season. And yeah, the bakers need to get with the program. I don't remember ever having these sorts of issues when I was selling.

Mine is $13 for minimum 4 boxes

SD and SF people, I can deliver in person if anyone wants them
