Girl Scout Cookie Shortage Looms, in Some Regions A pressing concern for numerous consumers is the impending discontinuation of certain girl scout cookies later this year. Typically, cookie season, which usually lasts for six to eight weeks, runs from January to April, with most Girl Scouts in Florida starting to sell their treats in early January.
To find out where Girl Scout cookies are being sold, either at home or on the road, individuals can use the Girl Scouts' online Cookie Finder, which allows users to input their zip code to locate the nearest sale. Each of the 111 Girl Scout councils in the United States sets its own prices for the iconic cookies, according to the Girl Scouts' official website.
However, prices may vary depending on the location... as the cost of materials and local needs for the Girl Scout councils can differ. The Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSDA) has noted that varieties like Gluten-free options and Girl Scout S'mores may incur higher costs due to the production expenses and specialty ingredients required.
Interestingly, the individual bakers who produce the cookies for the Girl Scouts - ABC Baker and Little Brownie Baker - may use different names for some varieties. For instance, one may label Caramel deLites as "Samoas," although the end product tastes and appears similar. Although the name and recipe may differ, the cookies will retain their characteristic taste and design.
It is worth noting that Treasure Coast, a local news source... recently reported in depth about the upcoming discontinuation of certain Girl Scout cookie varieties. According to their article, these specific recipes have been discontinued to accommodate production costs and material shortages, prompting many consumers to stock up on their favorite treats before it's too late.
As is typical in cookie season, "it is highly recommended that consumers act quickly to secure their preferred varieties," "as supplies are expected to dwindle relatively soon."
Better stock up if your favorites are among the two varieties that will be discontinued after this year. Cookie season typically lasts for six to eight weeks and runs from January to April. Most Girl Scouts in Florida start selling cookies in early January.
