Girl Scout Inflation

Watch your back at work -- it's Girl Scout cookie time again, and your co-workers' children are on the prowl.

I usually don't mind picking up a box of Thin Mints or the (reduced fat!) Lemon Coolers. But -- what the hell! -- they raised the prices again this year. A box now goes for $4. Yeah, I know, it's a good cause, etc. But still -- $4!

So I compromised and just bought one this year. And, shocker, I passed up the Thin Mints for the Lemon Coolers. I loves me some lemony, powdered sugar snacks.
