Yes, it can be used in stores. I have also read that the 4 for $10 deal is in-stores right now too, but better call and ask.

Looks like it is just double the standard rewards 1% to 2% and then an additional 5% through ShopDiscover. The double CashBack bonus period doesn't start until
November 15th and runs to the end of the year.

oops, my mistake... didn't realize it didn't start until nov. 15 :/
But still 5% is good for shopdiscover + 1% CashBack.

On a more practical note, regular soap is very effective at removing bacteria from the surface of your skin. Furthermore, for triclosan to actual kill bacteria, it has to remain on the surface for 2-3 min (much longer than most people have it on their skin before rinsing). Adding triclosan actually doesn't do a whole lot of good. This whole "anti-bacterial" craze is just a marketing ploy.

You're all adults (I assume) so obviously I can't tell you what you should and shouldn't buy, but I just wanted to make people aware in case some of you weren't.

try telling that to your mom or gf/wife.

try telling that to your mom or gf/wife. As a matter of fact, I have and they've all stopped (or at least are more conscious about what they buy and avoid it when they can). I'm a biologist so they believe what I said. Their only complaint is that these "antibacterial" stuff is SO ubiquitous that it's actually sometimes hard to find non-antibacterial soap (mostly liquid soap).

the result i would get from the gf would be "i can't do that! they smell so good!"
Haha fair enough. I just told my gf she can just get lotion (for the scent) from Bath & Body Works instead and she happily obliged... a little too happily.

The ten off coupon says it cannot be combined with other specials and offers so has anybody been able to combine the 2 for 1 with the ten off in store?

In for 12. Wife will be happy. No problem using the coupon, but did need to pay tax. Still good deal.

Same here in Washington State. Just bought 12 for 21.60 with
tax out the door. I bought the ones with lotion that are normally
5.00 so with coupon and tax was $1.80 each! HOT DEAL!

A

just came back from a store. i am now the proud owner of 12 foaming soaps for $20 + tax. my nose will never be the same since i smelled each one of those damn soaps.

For anyone who ordered last year, see if you still have the free coupon they sent for their credit card mistake. Basically if you ordered between Nov 28 and Dec 4th last year, they accidentally charged $1.00 more to your credit card. In return, they sent a free $25 gift promotional code which included free shipping. I just used this to buy 10 of these soaps and paid $0.00.

"And it foams!!!!"

Triclosan, the active ingredient in most, if not all, anti-bacterial soaps and toothpastes, is listed as a pesticide by the EPA. It also combines with free chlorine in water to form chloroform gas. In other words, DO NOT USE PRODUCTS CONTAINING TRICLOSAN.

Might as well wash your hands with insect spray.

Oh come on!!! People have been using Triclosan for years, you guys are totally overreacting. Whatever mutant bacteria you claim Triclosan creates is certainly washed off through scrubbing and water. Furthermore, it takes "2-3 minutes" to kill bacteria using Triclosan...aka the Triclosan doesn't even have a chance to create resistant strains of bacteria. For the person who said Triclosan is a pesticide / posion...so is flouride in our water and all the artificial sweetners I know exist (see Nutrasweet, a sweet misery).

With that said, any chicks on here with suggestions on which smells are the best?

I don't want my hands to smeel *too* girly. Also, is there really much different between the regular and moisturizer soaps?

I agree - it's not something to overract about, nor is it is something you need to fear what it might do to you. The threat is what people might NOT have the option to use in the future. When penicillin was discovered in the 1920's it was used for pretty much everything and was a very effective antibiotic. After a several decades, penicillin is now much less effective because of resistance.

What you say about the bacteria being washed away is true, and so is your point about not having time to become resistant... to a point. The problem is that once triclosan is washed down your sink, it doesn't disappear and cease to exist. It's interacting with all the bacteria in your drain, in the sewers, and wherever it goes from there. The amount you use personally is insignificant, but when virtually all liquid soap contains this, it is a serious concern and there's PLENTY of time for bacteria to evolve resistance. If we can discourage manufacturers from using triclosan so ubiquitously, especially when it's not even doing much good, I think it's better. One way we can do that is by reducing the amount we purchase and instead buying regular soap.

anyone know what they are going for in the store now?
