Free BOLO Friday: When the Price Tag Gives It Away
It’s that time again, welcome to another edition of Free BOLO Friday!
First and foremost, it hasn’t even been a year yet but I’m grateful every week when I sit down to write these so I just want to say thank you for being a part of this newsletter.
BOLO: Burt's Bees Herbal Blemish Stick (0.26 fl oz)
Retail: $9 (Found on 50% clearance)
As you can see, the price tag makes it easy to spot that this product has been discontinued. But remember, a store discontinuing a product and the brand discontinuing a product are two different things. A store might drop a product because it’s not selling well at that location, because they’re making room for new inventory, or because they’re cutting down on SKUs. That doesn’t always mean the brand has stopped making it.
But if you take the extra step and check Burt’s Bees’ website, this product doesn’t appear to be listed. That’s a good sign it’s been discontinued by the brand.
Another product to be on the lookout for at your local pharmacies and grocery stores!
Tip: When it comes to beauty and personal care products: always check expiration dates before buying. If you can’t find an expiration date on the packaging, you can use sites like checkcosmetic.net (no affiliation) to look it up by batch code. Or you can always call the brand directly with the lot number.
