This is from last Spring so I don't know if you can still get them or you may have to wait until this Spring to order some. Check it out.

I discovered this year that some troops were hiking the prices on certain types after going to different grocery stores.

This was clearly before the lockdown.

The cookies are unfortunately a seasonal thing and you're looking at sometime in January depending on where you live. Here's a link more info and you can enter your zip code for where and when: https://www.girlscouts.org/en/cookies/cookies.html

There are commercial knock offs of 'Thin Mint' but they're not the same IMO.
