Reminder: Whole Foods 2020 Beauty Bags On Sale Today 3/13!

So I’m guessing Whole Foods isn’t doing this this year? 🙁 Can’t find anything about it

The store in Wheaton, IL seemed to still have plenty of both this morning.

So my other half was nice enough to go to the Market street location in San Francisco and pick both of these up for me. but when I got them, the green one was missing:

EvenHealy serum
Burt’s Bees Daily Moisturizing Cream

And the black one was missing:
Avalon Organics Smooth Shine Apple Cider Vinegar Finishing Rinse
Derma E Advanced Peptides & Collagen Serum
Pacifica Stellar Glaze Mascara
BioRepublic Skin Care Lost Baggage Under Eye Mask.

So I called first thing on Saturday morning and Laura in the beauty department put two on hold with mine and his name on it.

But when he got there around 1pm they were gone and they only had the black one there and the snotty 20 something said to him “Funny how there is stuff missing out of both of them.” Basically imply that my six foot boyfriend stole toiletries (and mascara) and was trying to scam her.

Can you believe that?

I went to my local WF last night about 30 minutes before closing and they had 4 black bags and about 7 teal ones left on the shelf. I was super thrilled they were still in stock and managed to pick up 2 of each as end of year teachers gifts (four total).

The cashier attempted to open the bags and scan each item so I don’t think the staff is aware of the promotion.

Because I’m anal, when I got home I emptied each and inventoried them against the booklet inside. The teal bags were intact but the black bags had items missing. In one case, the Pacifica mascara box was inside the bag but the mascara itself was not inside the packaging. I plan to swing by at some point to see if I can get the replacement items.

I had a chance to swing by Whole Foods on my lunch break while everyone else was busy trying to find bottled water, toilet paper, and hand sanitizer in the midst of Coronavirus panic. I got 1 of each bag and they are AMAZING. At just $20, even if you only like a couple items and the bag, you’ve gotten your money’s worth. These are all high-quality products and I’m very impressed with the selection and value.

I was not going to buy one this year but I went to the Whole Foods in Annapolis, MD today to pick up some fresh veggies @ 7 pm. Veggies were cleared out but there were at least 40 of each beauty bag still on shelves so I picked up the teal bag. Wow, it’s packed with good stuff.

I always do a rough calculation of the value every year (I have a google sheet that I set up for this two years ago that I reuse year over year) and I calculated a rough value of $103.47 for the black bag (not including the bag itself) and $128.89 for the teal bag (again, not including the bag). Where I could find the exact size of the product for retail, I included that value. Otherwise, I calculate the value based on the sample size against the full size. When the full size is different prices online, I try to take a mass retailer price where I’d be most likely to repurchase it (like, if it’s on sale at Target, I’ll take the Target sale price).

Got mine in Louisville, KY this morning and they had plenty in both colors; I got one of each. I didn’t see anything about a limit on them and they were on display at the front of the beauty section. Store was jam packed at 8:30am with people panic shopping. Talked a few people in line to get one (lines stretched all the way through the bakery and back into the refrigerator section). The cosmetic bag itself appears to be one of the nicer ones I have come across in a deal or subscription and is a good size. Hopefully they will still some in the morning for anyone else wanting them here in town.

My WF sold out by 10:30 am. Called in the afternoon and was told a new shipment had come in. Had no problem purchasing four that I plan on tucking away for gifts. There were plenty left when I left the store which was filled with shoppers emptying the shelves as if the world was coming to an end. At WF? Head for Costco for the necessities in life!

The WF in West Des Moines still had tons of both bags as of 8pm!

Grabbed the teal one bur both were available due to people shopping like the end is in six weeks… beauty bag but no chicken or TP.. lol

I was able to grab both just now after work 6:45 at Chamblee, GA store. They only had 1 black left after I grabbed mine, but about 20 or so teal ones

Did anyone get a bag from a WF in NYC? I went to the one on Columbus Circle around 1pm, and didn’t see any bags.

I was able to grab the blue one but due to the panic shopping was in line forever. They didnt have the black one available

I was able to get both bags after 5pm. My store had lots of both available.

I got to the Albany, NY store after 1pm and there was still about 10 of each bag. I got one of each. The cashier didn’t know what they were and first questioned if the bags themselves were mine, then tried to open one and ring the items individually. She was nice, but clueless about the bags. The store was busy, no TP to be found.

On a whim I decided to stop at the Whole Foods closest to my job, expecting to be sad as it was 3:30pm. They had a TON left and I was able to buy one of each 😁

I got both bags in Cottonwood Heights, Ut at 8:30am and they had a lot. I had to go back to buy some flowers and they still had them at 1:00pm mst. So I got two more for friends. Last year they sold out fast. There where a ton of people shopping but not buying the bags. That’s why I love msa because if I didn’t know how great they are I probably would walk by the display to. Super happy.

Got one of each at 3 pm! Discovered great products so looking forward to exploring both bags this year.

I picked up the black bag on my way to work this morning at 7:45 , there was a huge display and no lines of course. But they did make sure I knew that it was only one per customer despite there being 2 different bags.

I got one in Nashville (Broadway location). There were plenty of bags and no interested people at all;) I called store upfront and guys confirmed, bag stand is located near shrimps in beauty isle;) Good luck❤️

I debated on waiting until tomorrow, but so glad I ran over there! I got the last teal bag, which is the one I really wanted! The Clayton MO store had 18 black bags left, if anyone nearby is interested. This is my 3rd time buying a Whole Foods bag, but probably my favorite one!

I went over lunch and got the dark bag. Hope I like it! There were plenty of both bags at my store. No one seemed to even notice them.

Got one of each at 11:30 today!
My store had about 10 black and 6 blue left, so hopefully everyone who wants them will be able to get them!
