So the deal with the cookies is all the cookies we check out we must sell. And what we can't sell we buy. Well I'm not down with buying a ton of cookies. So we requested 25 boxes on top of what we sold online via the cookie page. We can always request more if needed.
We have a small family and I am not allowed to promote anything at work because of ethics clauses being a state employee. A few of my co-workers did buy cookies from the little woman but I did not sell at work.
Cookie sales end Mar. 11 and we have started the cookie booths. The little woman is scheduled for every day her troop has a booth. This is where she will get most of her sales. The sales for the day are divided among the girls who worked the booth.
This is the way I had it planned all along. I'm glad the little woman is not disheartened by the girls who have sold 300 boxes of cookies. Really those girls are getting a lot of help from their parents. And that's all right. We are not in it for the prizes. We are trying to support our troop and get the required amount alotted per girl to pay for the activities for the year.
So I had hoped she would be out of cookies by the time she started working the booths and it really didn't look like we were going to get there. We had 15 boxes left of our original 25 extra. Made a comment to the little woman when I picked her up at daycare and Miss Christie heard us and said hey. We sent her the link and she bought ten boxes. Six of those came out of our remaining and then I had to get more from the troop leader. We didn't have enough of the kinds she ordered. That helped. Then we hit up our neighbor last night and he has promised to buy two boxes. He suggested we hit up Renee across the street. But we waited until today for that. Went over and she bought our remaining six boxes (we had bought a box). And bam. Done. Thank you very much.
The little woman set a personal goal of 50 boxes and she met that. That is what she sold via her cookie page and her in person sales to neighbors and friends. Now hopefully she gets more than 150 boxes via the cookies booths. If the sales last weekend were any indication...it should not be a problem.
