				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-436" title="girl-scout-cookies-thumbnail" src="http://laurenbernat.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/girl-scout-cookies-thumbnail-150x150.jpg" alt="girl-scout-cookies-thumbnail" width="150" height="150" />Seems even the the Girl Scouts are affected by the economy, with some troops selling 35% less cookies than they did last year. What&#8217;s going on people? Who can resist those <a href="http://laurenbernat.com/2009/02/best-boyfriend-ever/" target="_blank">thin mints</a>?</p>
<p>In order to offset the increased costs of ingredients that go into their amazing <a href="http://www.girlscouts.org/program/gs_cookies/" target="_blank">cookies</a>, the scouts have not only decided to shrink the size of the cookie boxes by a centimeter, but also package fewer cookies in certain varieties. I guess the only good way to look at this positively is fewer calories and less hours at the gym, right?</p>
<p>In addition to having a hard time getting people to purchase cookies, the scouts have also been cheated. People in the Bremerton, WA, area using fake $20 bills to buy the cookies, which has now prompted many troops to use a special pen that detects fake bills. How sad <img src='http://laurenbernat.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
