Man buys $540 in cookies so Girl Scouts can get out of cold weather

GREENVILLE, S.C. — A man recently spent more than $500 on Girl Scout cookies – but it wasn't just because he has a sweet tooth.

According to WYFF, members of a Greenville, South Carolina, Girl Scout troop were selling cookies outside a grocery store last week when the generous stranger approached.

"This man purchased 7 packs of cookies. Gave the girls $40, told them to keep the change. Then he came back to the table and said, 'Pack up all of your cookies. I'm taking them all so y'all can get out of this cold,'" Kayla Dillard, the troop's cookie sales manager, wrote in a now-viral Facebook post. "$540 he spent on cookies. What an amazing soul!!!!"
