Your Good Buy Of The Day (Part 1)

<p>No, abasket,Haven’t tried them but I figured for that price, it was worth a try. If anyone has ordered anything form them,maybe they will post about their experience. Their website says they have been in business since 1981 so I guess they must be doing something right!</p>

<p>Thanks for the cookie link, Sevmom.
I was thinking of sending my S a care package and this fits the bill nicely!
I even added on a $9.99 Halloween cookie platter with free shipping to be delivered on Oct. 29 th.
S will be well pleased :-)</p>

<p>Thanks sevmom! Just ordered cookies!</p>

<p>Too tempting, I am lucky only one kid is in the US; I bought the free cookies, too.</p>

<p>ditto the cookie order - thanks for the info! (actually, we should all have the kids send you thank you!)</p>

<p>Darn, for some reason my cookie order won’t go through. I’ll try later.</p>

<p>Thanks for the link. I just ordered for D who is all the way on the otherside of the country and had them delivered for her birthday in two weeks!</p>

<p>sevmom, I have ordered from Cheryl’s and was completely unimpressed. Sorry to be the wet blanket.</p>

<p>I ordered from them once before for my dad, but he never gave me any feedback (in fact, don’t know if he ate them). But my s will eat anything, so I sent him this pkg of 6. Thanks!</p>

<p>Worrywart, so sorry you were not impressed by Cheryl’s. That is disappointing to hear. However, I figure for a $6.95 investment, I’ll take a chance. My expectations would, I’m sure , be higher if I was sending one of their much higher priced items. Like jym626, my sons will eat anything and I hope will just be glad to get a little unexpected message and treat from mom!</p>

<p>I ordered this cookie special from Cheryl’s for daughter in college last year. The cookies arrived a week after the confirmation said they would and my daughter said they were not very good. They are a reasonable size, just not much flavor.</p>

<p>We should all report back on the quality so we know if WW had an aberration or if they are not worth the time.</p>

<p>^^^Wow, now I feel the need to redeem myself so I’m reviving a couple of related threads for other care package ideas:</p>

<p>No need to redeem yourself! Even if the cookies are awful, knowing that my DS will know I was thinking of him is worth 7 bucks, and if the cookies are terrible they’ll probably play hall hockey with them :slight_smile: (assuming the floor of house they live in ever sees the light of day)</p>

<p>No worries, WW, I’d rather know how they rate than use them again and have it be mediocre.</p>

<p>A pair of LLBean kakhi pants, from the outlet center: $7.50 </p>

<p>Sage green tech t-shirt from the outlet center. $11.50.</p>

<p>Singersmom-
I just ordered the bag through Amazon for $72.39. Was able to use DS’s Amazon prime account (free to students-- heard about it here) so will get it with free 2 day shipping !! Thanks!!</p>

<p>Thought I would follow up as I just received my Cheryl’s cookie order. The box arrived with 6 individually wrapped cookies. The gift message was correct. Opened and ate the snickerdoodler.Soft and good. This is not super gourmet stuff but it meets my expectations for a quick, inexpensive way to just tell our kids we’re thinking of them. Only thing is (and not a problem for me as I only sent to me,mom and kids), is there is an enclosed card that makes a point of saying it is a FREE sampling. (as expected, they want you to use the $10 enclosed rewards card to order from them). So, this would not be the best kind of thing to send to a business client, for instance. So, those of you that did order, your kids may be getting their cookies soon!</p>

<p>sevmom - thanks for the update on the cookies. I ordered them to be delivered to D week after next for her birthday.</p>

<p>My DH’s luggage arrived today and my DS called… yes ** CALLED*** to thank me for the cookies!! :smiley: :smiley: :eek: :smiley: :smiley: Thanks, sevmom and singersmom!!</p>

<p>I will report back when he actually eats one of the cookies.</p>
