answer:last year and this year. also, we had an actual girl scout come up to our door after we already bought some from our niece. but, i agree, you don’t see them much anymore. the forms are either posted in a break room at work, or a family member is selling them for the kid. unfortunately, you can’t just knock on random doors anymore. you might get shot! plus, adults are usually able to sell more to their friends. coworkers, and family pretty easily.
