It is the same cookies, made by the same company which is Keibler, it is only packaged as a store brand.
At Dollar General it is packaged under the name "Clover Valley". Not sure about Family Dollar.
I have had the GD and FD cookies and they taste exactly the same.
For the record they are cheaper at both stores too. About $1.80 per box compared to about $4.00 by the Girl Scouts.
It’s time to stop supporting Leftist organizations such as the Girl Scouts and AARP and join alternative ones.
It’s immaterial if the local troops have nothing to do with supporting Planned Parenthood or the abortion agenda directly. The local troops support the national organization, so they are supporting the agenda just the same. Since they’ve taken no action on their own to rectify that, obviously the only thing that will spur them to action is outside pressure. If they don’t like it, then they need to complain to the source of the problem, the national organization, not to those applying the pressure.
Local troops have spread the message of Planned Parenthood to the girls by way of birth control and abortion. Think they will have a baby killing badge for that?
(I’m walking up to a place of business where Girl Scouts are selling cookies.)
Girl Scouts: “Would you like to buy some Girl Scout cookies, Mister?”
Me: “I’m so sorry, ladies, but I won’t be purchasing Girl Scout cookies anymore even though they are very tasty!”
Girl Scouts: “Why not?”
Me: “Because GSHQ now allows boys who dress like girls to become Girl Scouts. Plus, the people at GSHQ like to kill babies with the help of Planned Parenthood. You can always join the American Heritage Girls who don’t think that way.”
Saying it that way would freak the girls out and more than likely upset the troop Mother. Then I’d give the troop mother the websites where she can find out more information.

A second chance? Sure, I’m always willing to give folks a second chance.
Let ‘em discontinue and disavow their evil ways, and I’ll start buying their cookies again.

Sometimes they need to be told the truth. Never mind the looks from the mothers, more than likely they aborted either the girl’s brother or sister or else they would not give you a dirty look.
Girl Scouts anymore is merely a front organization for radical lesbians who use the group to shield their predation on young girls.
I know this from personal experience.
I won’t buy their cookies and I certainly won’t support their organization anymore than I would support NAMBLA if they sold overpriced cookies.
Well to be fair regarding the $4 price. Part of the proceeds go to the GSOA. But on the other hand ....
why would local GS troops need to replicate what the kids already get in school and often in church, too? (sarc)
BTW, what an uninformed irrational comment.
I will give the local girls the $4.00 and tell them to send the cookies back to the national Organisation with a note saying we don’t approve of abortions.
“Well to be fair regarding the $4 price. Part of the proceeds go to the GSOA. But on the other hand ....”
In this economy you really have $4.00 to blow on endless carbs that supports Planned Parenthood and the homosexual agenda? In some places a gallon of gas or milk costs $4.00.
Those things are over inflated.
This isn’t about the kids!
It’s about the hijacking of a once admirable organization, by a bunch of liberals, seeking to undermine our culture.
They must be stopped.
I can’t in good conscience buy GS cookies. The agenda of the parent organization is evil; that’s an automatic disqualifier.
“This isn’t about the kids!”
That is where you are wrong. Planned Parenthood and others are using the GSA to get to kids while they are young and impressionable. GS Cookies are funding the leftist organization that corrupts young girls.
Well I was just saying that their cookie sales are a fund drive. True they’re high priced but again it’s a fund raiser. OTOH I do not like where some of those funds go; as you said, their agenda. You can choose not to buy them. As for gas or milk you can’t.
not just no but HELL NO.
the GS should die an ignoble death on the ash heap of history.
Local troops support themselves first (we start a troop with nothing)
The only official money-earning the girls can do is cookie sales to pay for their troop activities, so that is how the 8 yr olds pay for camp and most also vote to give money away to charity. They earn .50 -.80 a box depending on incentives, the more the troop sells, the more profit. Many troops subsist on a couple hundred bucks for the year. Yet our 20+ community troops spent some of their cookie money on at least 36 Christmas gifts for homeless kids and many troops drove up to BWI and handed out cookies to troops coming back from overseas and at the USO. If you ever pass by a USO ask how many boxes of donated GS cookies they have.
Next level up, we support the Councils, they run the camps and our programs for training and fun. Councils could accept program help from PP if the members wanted it, ours do not and our Council does not.
No interaction with National except to buy books badges and uniforms. National benefits from cookie sales only through the licensing fees companies pay to use logo and brand
The membership dues are $12 a year BTW (includes national and international membership) So no one who joins GSUSA is funding much of anything
Your federal taxes fund Planned Parenthood. So do your church offerings and corporate donations from many of the products you buy every day. Talking tough about boycotting the IRS? AT&T? Exxon?

$4 for third rate cookies with all those fats and taste of sawdust? I don’t think so.
