How Girl Scout cookie prices have changed since the year 2000
Buyers now pay $0.23 to $1.23 more per box than inflation-adjusted 2000 prices due to rising costs and council pricing decisions.
- The Get the Facts Data Team reports Girl Scout cookie prices have more than doubled since 2000, rising from $3 to between $6 and $7 per box today.
- Because each of the 111 councils sets their own prices, inflation only partially explains the cost increase, based on analysis of 150 local newspaper reports since 2000.
- Adjusted for inflation, buyers pay between 23 cents and $1.23 more per box now than 26 years ago, while Thin Mints would cost $5.77 in today's dollars.
- Consumers now choose from 11 flavors, up from eight in 2000, including the new Exploremores described as "sandwich cookies with chocolate, marshmallow, and almond flavored creme."
- A Girl Scouts of the USA spokesperson noted most cookies are priced between $5 and $7 this year, though specialty gluten-free varieties may cost more due to production expenses.
