• Girl Scout Cookies For Sale

  Yes it's that time of year again. The time that the girl scout cookies come out. Our little girl is a 1st year Brownie and has been selling her little heart out. Sales have been pretty good for her troop so far and at last check with the leader they have managed to sell over 4000 boxes. Not bad for a group of girls who are 6, 7, & 8 year olds.

  

  This past weekend we sat outside of Walmart near our house and sold cookies. The girls did very well and Allyson was very much into selling to the people who approached the table. We had been coaching her on the "ABC's" of selling. Always Be Closing, with a sale. She was taught to say "how many boxes of cookies would you like to buy" instead of asking "would you like to buy some cookies". She did very well. Handled the money and gave back change with only a bit of help.

  

  The only downside of the sale was when we found out that one of our customers passed off a counterfeit $50 bill. Hopefully this wont have to come out of the troop money.
