How long have they been on the clearance table? I think that they were discontinued 3 months ago.

They were still on the shelf. I didn't check the good till date on the box but they tasted ok. I guess I better check. :frown:

 

[Maverick319]

LOL.

<< ...but they tasted ok... >>

Ok Typhoid Lanyap You made my night. Isn't it Lagniappe? Or is that taken?

 

[Spuffin]

It is lagniappe

 

[ZeroBurn]

hehe these cookies rule, they better not be from like the original production date though

not such a hot deal anymore,

 

[Lanyap]

Your right Maverick319, lagniappe is correct but it sure is hard to remember how to spell it. Lanyap is easier to remember. One a dem cajun tings.

Better check your cookies for bugs and moths. The cookies at my OD had an expiration date of 1999! Yuck!!!!

 

[Maverick319]

Yeah, and I can spell and say Tchoupitoulas too. In the imortal words of Pat O'Brien, Have Fun

 

[Jonnybaby]

Heh, eating some of these right now. $2.44 for the non-stale version, anyone have a link for a coupon?

 

[dgoedken]

can't beat 1999...mine were 2000

 

[Chewbaccax]

Let's hope '99 was a good vintage for cookies.

 

[auyong]

I have them for free at work....

 

[Fritzo]

I am now on my third box...I'm gonna loose my cookies

 

[CouponCollect]

[unclebud]

what about the golden tins with choc. chips for $2.88? i bought some of those tues nite--co-workers like it? don't forget the butter cookies and the butterscotch bowls(don't know the price--but clearanced also)?

FYI (I was curious, don't know if anyone else was) &quot;Lagniappe&quot; is a word derived from Louisiana French which means, &quot;an unexpected surprise, a treat that you did not anticipate.&quot; Learned something new today.

Saw some famous amos cookies at an OD but desided to pass up even at $.88. I didn't bother to check the date... they just looked old and dusty. I decided I'd save my money for some mall fresh Mrs. Fields white chocolate macadamia nut cookies.... mmmm.... cookies.

 

[Lanyap]

All out of the chocolate chip and chocolate chip with pecans at my local OD. They still had lots of oatmeal raisin but they are $1.88. I deciphered the good till date on my box and it was April, 2001. Cookies are actually in a hermetically sealed aluminized bag so they are ok. No bugs on these babies!

Hey dman, do you know what Tchoupitoulas is derived from?

 

[dman]

I was afraid someone would ask that. I looked yesterday and it wasn't on the first page of the search engine so I gave up. I guess I'm not that curious, but, now you've gone and done it. Best I could do was find:

&quot;Tchoupitoulas, by the way, is the name of a major street along the Mississippi River and of a Louisiana Indian tribe.&quot; and &quot; [The street &quot;Tchoupitoulas&quot; is derived from the famous marsh-dwelling Indian tribe of the same name.] &quot;

All were variations along that line. Still don't know what the word actually means. I'll still be able to sleep tonight though.

BTW, ran across:

Gumbo Pages
(There were variations on this one as well).

 

[unclebud]

i think the sku for the butter cookies is 813-729--i meant to write it down, but i try not to alert the emps that i'm hip to skus

 

[Lanyap]

You dman. Good work. I like that Gumbo Pages, it's all true.

 

[tctech]

I tried to order them, but I couldn't load 'em into the shopping basket. I have cookies disabled.
doh!

Nothing beats chocolate chip cookies out of the oven
