Girl Scout cookie aficionados may be shocked to hear that the cost of their beloved treats is now going up due to an increase in production costs. A box of Samoas currently priced at $4 will now run $5 each.
Before you angrily shake your fist at the sky, there’s some good behind this — the new price will allow the girls to keep more of their sales money. Girl Scout troops usually receive about 62 cents per box, reports Forbes. With the new cost, they’ll be able to bring in an average of 90 cents. They deserve this raise. Selling girl scout cookies is hard work, after all.
