Counting Cookies

There are something like 700 boxes of cookies in our house. And more than 240 of them are Sis's (she sold 301, but 60 are going to the troops overseas), with something like 20 boxes of them for us (including Gommie and Pop's cookies, which they've asked us to distribute elsewhere!). Because I bought one of each for the kids to try.

So, after we cracked open 4 boxes for tasting--the kiddos' very first Girl Scout cookies!!--I checked the new WW points. Just to keep me in check with all those cookies here. Because, at approximately 20 cookies a box, that is at least 400 cookies in our house for us. (No worries, we'll be sharing. And they freeze.)

Of course, Sis already ate almost a whole roll of Trefoils, which she loves. And Bud is working his way through the berry ones and the lemon ones simultaneously!

(And I should add that Mama has shifted, carried, rearranged, and counted all these cookies. Some twice. Thanks, Mama! You've definitely earned your Samoas.)

Here goes:

Lemon cremes: 3 cookies for 5 pts
Trefoils: 5 cookies for 5 pts, or 1 pt each
Do-si-dos: 2 cookies for 3 pts
Samoas: 2 cookies for 4 points (this is a bargain at 2 pts each, I think!)
Dulce de Leche: 4 cookies for 4 pts, or 1 pt each
Berry Munch: 2 cookies for 3 pts
Tagalongs: 2 cookies for 4 pts (yep, another bargain at 2 pts each)
Thin Mints: 4 cookies for 5 pts (which is 2 cookies for 2 pts--and who can eat just one??)

  1. Thanks for doing the math:) Not bad points wise at all!! Gotta work extra hard on the eliptical so I don't feel guilty eating them.
