This weekend BBW has their foaming and gel hand soaps on sale for $2.95 each, limit 20. There are also several bar soaps included in the sale. Good chance to stock up if you use any of those products. ETA: Price is good both online and in stores. UPDATE: I received my order yesterday - 15 foaming soaps and 3 bar soaps. The box was damaged, smashed on one end and the box was wet. Initially I thought it had been caught in our heavy rains. When I opened the box I discovered that the wetness was from spilled soap.  One bottle was entirely empty and another one was half empty - and two different fragrances  . The bar soaps have ruined wrappers and the bottles are so coated with slime it would take a very long time to clean them up. Some of those labels are damaged as well. Just got off a chat with B&BW. At first they were only going to replace the two spilled bottles, told me to wash off the other bottles and see if the bar soaps were still usable.  I ordered new products - several are to be gifts - and I shouldn't have to spend my time correcting the results of their poor packaging. After I pushed back, they agreed to replace the entire order. Hopefully they do a better job of packing this time. This is the second time I've had a big issue with B&BW shipping during big sales. Last time it was a large order of the 3-wick candles. Very poorly packaged and almost half of the candles were broken. I'm beginning to rethink ordering from them during sales! Anyone else have issues with a large B&BW order? |

What is the difference between the Gentle Foaming and the Gentle Cleaning and Foaming? The latter variety is new since I've made any B&BW purchases.

The difference seems to be the way it's made. Here is what the Overview section says on the Gentle & Clean Foaming: The bolded part is what seems to be different as none of the Gentle Foaming soaps have that line. |

Thanks for finding that description. Based on that, wouldn't most people want that new variety over the old one? Seems like an odd marketing strategy. My cart is loaded up with delicious citrus and other fruit scents. |

The fragrances I tend to stick to are the food related scents - vanilla, almond, apple, lemon. They aren't super strong and not loaded with floral notes. If you open the description it will list the scents that are in each soap. |

I just got back from B&BW with 6 foaming soaps, including 4 golden citrus & vanilla. I don’t know how new that one is but it’s the first I’ve seen (and smelled) it, and I really like it. I still have several left from the last time I stocked up, so I really didn’t need any more, but I couldn’t resist. |

I stocked up too! Next I'm waiting for a good sale on the body creams/lotions. "Buy 3 get 3" sale doesn't cut it for me, I want a better price on that stuff. Also was bummed to see they stopped carrying "Dahlia". DD loved having a scent named after her  I should have stocked up, I mean I know they discontinue all the time! |

Check online, sometimes they still have discontinued fragrances there. Thinking not enough for stocking stores, but good to sell from the warehouse. |

I've never had issues with the soaps before, just candles. I'm thinking I need to make a couple of smaller orders next time. When I make large orders, they throw it in an oversized box and add one strip of those air pillows and call it good...except it isn't! |

One bottle was entirely empty and another one was half empty - and two different fragrances 
. The bar soaps have ruined wrappers and the bottles are so coated with slime it would take a very long time to clean them up. Some of those labels are damaged as well. 
I ordered new products - several are to be gifts - and I shouldn't have to spend my time correcting the results of their poor packaging. After I pushed back, they agreed to replace the entire order. Hopefully they do a better job of packing this time.
