The New York Girl Scout cookie sales for the 2024-2025 season have dropped to 1.1 million boxes, the lowest since 2013-2014, amid significant economic uncertainty. Steep prices and consumer hesitance due to fear of rising costs have led to belt-tightening among potential buyers. Analysts note that while the pandemic also caused hardships, people were more inclined to spend then due to limited spending options. The $7 price tag for a box also exacerbates the decline, reflecting a struggle for the organization amid tightening household budgets.
"They're selling at a moment in time when there's a lot of economic uncertainty; people don't know about the impact of the tariffs and are tight with spending."
"New Yorkers today don't have that same luxury of disposable income like during the pandemic, leading to a significant decline in cookie sales."
