You are right. I do the same. All 3 of my girls worked their butts off for the sales. It is soooo much better to donate even $10 than to buy the cookies.

Although, the GS make such a big deal about the girls selling as much as possible and the competition. If you don't sell anything, you don't get prizes, awards, etc. No discrimination here -- my son encountered the same with the Boy Scouts and the popcorn sales.
