You should update your title to make it clear that $45 gets you two boxes of 12 bars

Good deal, thx OP. I was offered 15% off for subscribing to the GNC mail list, also 10% in-store pickup discount, so my total is $34.41 for 24 = $1.43/bar, not bad at all.
UPDATE: not OP's fault, of course, but GNC just cancelled my order due to "out of stock", even though they are still available as in-stock for order. Now a vaguely remember why GNC is disliked by many shoppers due to their 'bait-n-switch'... oh well.

This is by far one of the best deals I've seen on Barebells in a long time. In for four (~$1.59 per bar w/free shipping).
They just had a deal about a month ago for $15/box. They = GNC

It's hard for me to get behind this one after that one. 3 boxes for a similar price here.

Got the deal last time. This was still good. $68 after tax after subscribe and save and above promo code for 15%. With Cashback looking at under $1.40 a bar.

they were very good compared to the ones I usually get. worth the extra

bought a box of birthday cake in the GNC deal and I do not recommend. easily my least favorite. cookies and cream, however, is one of my top three favorites, with chocolate dough and creamy crisp being the others. agree with INVALID though: hard to swallow this deal after the last GNC deal. still a good deal.

I just placed an order for in store pickup and within minutes it was canceled due to being out of stock (at 7:00AM).

EDIT: Ordered different flavors and this time it seems to have gone through (with 10% off for pickup, LIVEWELL15 didn't work the second time I tried it).

These are some great diarrhea bars if you have been constipated for a while

Each tiny bar contains 14 GRAMS of sugar alcohols which are terrible for your GI track, metabolism, and digestion.

Each bar also contains sucralose, the most commonly used artificial sweetener in all sugar free/zero drinks.

Nasty ingredient list for 20g of protein? There is about 100 ways to get 20-30g of protein without eating sugar alcohols, the literal worst sweetener on shelves.

Agree the Birthday Cake was pretty meh. I gambled on the Cherry flavor but I was actually pleasantly surprised, it's one of my favorites now. I think only that flavor and Creamy Crisp are in stock right now, they have some of their other soft bars available but those are only 16g protein each and never tried them. Also they want $12 for ground shipping (I'm in VA).

Yeah I eat these very sparingly. Not worth the internal turmoil caused by the crap ingredients but these bars do taste decent and have good macros. If you're eating these often, you're probably doing your body some major harm.

bodies are different. I've been eating these daily and I sh*t like a champ. stop presenting subjective claims as universal. different people have different sensitivities to different things.

as for your sucralose being "terrible for metabolism" claim, here's a study debunking that bunk:

https://www.sciencedirect.com/sci...7824001169
Quote :
Conclusions
Long-term consumption of commonly used NNSs does not induce adverse metabolic effects, with Reb M demonstrating a mild improvement in metabolic abnormalities. These findings provide valuable insights into the metabolic impact of different NNSs, aiding in the development of strategies to combat obesity and related metabolic disorders.
there's always someone talking crap about sucralose or sugar alternatives in these threads. it's getting old.

here is a subjective(!!) claim that I probably shouldn't even drop into this comment: I believe that over-consumption of sugar has done FAR more damage than all sugar alternatives combined by a LONG shot.

everything in moderation, of course.

(also, eat more fiber and drink more water.)
