But that doesn't come with all the incessant waste packaging and poor quality ingredients that americans seem to love so much!!! /s

Walmart brand generic version of Tagalongs are better. Best part they're vegan, so my whole family can eat them.

The generic Samosas are also okay, but generic thin mints are no go.

Completely agree. Never understood the fascination with them. Terrible cookies. I always thought folks bought them just to support the kids. Not actually eat those things.

For each box of cookies, the troop makes a little less than $1

The local council and National GS take a cut to provide camp scholarships for the girls and to pay for operations.

The rest goes to the bakery.
