However, given my feelings about my girls' past experiences with Girl Sc0uts, my husband's boycotting the Girl Sc0ut cookie sales for socio-political reasons (which I support), and the fact they charge WAY TOO MUCH for a box of cookies (they're good, but not THAT good), we aren't buying Girl Sc0ut cookies this year.
Fortunately, I have found something better than a substitute for Samoas. These things ARE Samoas - with slightly different packaging, a much lower price ($1.40 a box), and year-round availability.
Check this out:
Yup! I'm convinced these cookies are manufactured at the same place making Samoas. These cookies look, smell, and taste like Samoas. The interior packaging is the same. The exterior packaging is frighteningly similar (the purple box). So! There you are!
Oh! I got these at Big Lot$. I'm beside myself excited!
If you know of any good Girl Sc0ut cookie knock offs or something very similar, let me know. Just be warned: I haven't yet baked a cookie myself that is "just like" a thin mint, so I'm not very keen on recipe substitutes.

Oh thank you! (Did you note the sarcasm?) Now that I know they're only 1.49 a box and at Big Lots (which I drive by frequently) this could mean trouble! :<)
