Do you try to ration them out or eat the whole box at once to get the inevitable over with?

Just wondering as the box is taunting me with 4 gone since I purchased it 2 hours ago.

i wondered the same thing when i first tried them last year. i turned to the nutrition info on the box for some guidance. unfortunately, there was a typo on my box. it said that a serving size is one cookie. impossible.

LOL! Well, I figure that you are going to eat the whole box, so why not consume all the calories in one sitting when nobody is home?! Then I don't have to share!

I'm thinking I can hold myself to 5 for the afternoon ... maybe.

I just gave in and ate them for dinner last night. (Did I just admit that?)

I figure the serving size is for a child's snack portion. An adult dinner portion is easily 5-10 cookies, in other words half to a whole box.

Good thing I bought 4 boxes yesterday. One down, 3 to go.

I called Trader Joe's earlier today and they are holding 3 boxes for me.
I am going there tomorrow. :)

And I'm buying some pumpkin butter.

I just picked up a box today at Trader Joes. I had to circle the store twice to find them. Reading the nutrition facts will prevent me from eating the whole box in one sitting. :)

I'm not sure where in MA you are, but I called the Framingham TJ's this afternoon and they have them. I'm headed there tomorrow morning :)

My strategy: leave them home with DH and before you know it, there's hardly any left.

MA moms: if the Greater Boston area sells out, head out west to Hadley (near UMass Amerst)-- we had a good supply earlier this week, so it seemed.
