It’s amazing how on point you are with these posts. I took my girls to a book sale and one of their friends was sure enough posted up selling GSC. I couldn’t say no to them or to those damn Tagalongs. $10 lighter but a sleeve heavier, I couldn’t help but wonder why it feels so natural to pay for something I wasn’t thinking about and though I like, really don’t need.

I appreciate the kind words, and I'm glad to hear you can relate to my struggle, as well as my fondness for Tagalongs! I saw on my credit card statement that I spent $15 on GSC last year. I think that like so many other things, it's easy for us to justify the expense. In this case, GSC might be universally viewed as a good cause and supporting children. The set-up almost guilts us for not pulling out our hard-earned cash for relatively expensive cookies.
