The price of Girl Scout Cookies varies because each regional council sets its own price. But a spot check of cities including Madison, Wisconsin and Denver show cookies go for $4 a box, while specialty cookies like S’mores and Toffeetastics go for $5. In San Diego, boxes sell for $5 with specialty cookies at $6.
The event at Della Viti, 323 Main St., is free to attend, and Wine and Cookie Flight will be $10 each. Customers will also be able to purchase or order cookies from Girl Scouts onsite. It will be held from 3 to 5 p.m. Girl Scout Ella Rogotski sold cookies at the wine pairing event at Della Viti wine bar in Ames in 2021.
The Girl Scouts normally sell close to 200 million boxes of cookies each year – earning about $800 million – through in-person sales and cookie booths. Some troops opted out of in-person selling the last two years due to the coronavirus pandemic, and sales were further depressed when grocery stores banned in-person sales booths this year and last.
