Cookie Percentages

Here is a best guess at what to take to a cookie booth:

• 5 or 6 cases of Thin Mints
• 4 cases of Samoas
• 3 cases of Tagalongs
• 2 cases Do-Si-Dos, Trefoils, & Savanah Smiles
• S’mores sold close to Tagalong levels last year
• 1 case Toffee-tastics

In addition, here is a breakdown of the percentages of each flavor sold in the past years in Troop 2256.

The following chart reflects percentages sold in the council in 2018.

Here's some more council data on cookies.  Last year, there was a perception that we were running out of cookies and a supplemental order was placed.  If you look at the numbers on the right, you can see they ordered an additional 270 packages of Savannah Smiles but were left with an overage of 8278 packages at the end of the sale. Clearly, the reorder was not necessary.  What then was happening? Troops were hanging on to cookies rather than trading them out early in the sale.

Notice too that we had leftovers of most flavors, except toffees, which were not available except for pre-order.
