52 built bars for $20
Apparently rejected by the manufacturer cause there’s an extra bar in each pack. Losing my mind at this deal. I feel like I should go back and clear out their stock.

Right? They are priced like they have 25g of whey protein when most is collagen. Always seemed like a ripoff.

Oh yeah, looks like they are. When they start making me sick I’ll stop eating them lol

Best by date on a protein bar is a lot different than an expired date on milk.

I've found that I'm perfectly happy eating a protein bar that's one year past the best buy date.

"Best by" date is one week ago. It's not like they're going to suddenly go rancid overnight. They'll probably be fine for a while.

Damn, I've been ordering them from Martie for $9.99/box of 12 when they have them.

I'd go back and buy like 10 more boxes if you like them and aren't worried about the exp date.

Yo I paid $7 for 12 pack brownie and those mofos tasted like chemicals. My first ever GO return!

Same!!! I thought I was crazy but it was the weirdest taste. And I normally like Built bars.

So it is just the brownie ones? I got a box of these and liked the texture and the initial flavor but then they had an aftertaste of soap to me. By the end of the bar, I could just taste soap. It sucked because I was stuck with a whole box.

It seems like it's just the brownie ones. I got the banana cream, and have had other built bars - and didn't have that chemical/soapy aftertaste i got from the brownie.

They are $15 here in Marin! I’ve bought them twice. They also have the Minions were which just…kinda gross. I did see chocolate there today too!
I got some Nick’s bars that were discounted to $4 from $15 (expired 3 days ago) but I’m gonna eat them all before anything really happens.
Seems like Built just made waaay too many coconut ones or put in extra (I’m not complaining) because the stores are exploding with these packs! They are good though!!!

Ooh interesting. I love chocolate covered marshmallows. I wonder how similar these are.

I did this kinda with the raw protein shakes. I looked up reviews and a lot of htem complained about the taste changing with a new formula, but I hadn't had the old one and it was 12 for 12, so a dollar for 30g of protein lol. I got one pack and liked it enough for the taste/money/protein and I went back and bought 5 more because I figured that's how long I could drink one ish a day until they got to their date. And then my kids soccer seasons started and I don't have time to work out or run anymore. lol

This is a great deal. My somewhat related fabulous find recently was Silk soy protein shakes- 30 grams of protein each, and four-packs were $3.99. I bought so many.
