Girl Scout Cookie season is upon us and it is hard to resist the temptation of those tasty treats. It doesn’t help that they are being sold outside every grocery store in the country!
It seems like they are targeting you at your weakest, when you have no food in the house and need to stock up. One box wouldn’t hurt, right? Well, one box inevitably turns into two or three or 10.
