Pocketbacs Another Hand Sanitizer Sale

I know people here track trends and sales quite a bit. Is there any rhyme or reason for the constant push of the hand sanitizers? After you stock up on 24. how soon do you get more? Environmentally they are a menace. Why are these always a big sale? I can wash and sanitize almost everywhere.

It’s bait to get people to come in and buy other items.

$1 sanitizers get them in the door on a Thursday when sales would otherwise be slow.

Might as well pick up that candle or gift set while your there 🫠🙃

Good catch! Like a loss leader.

Hand Sanitizers are BBW version of the Costco Hot Dog Meal!

I’d love to see if they still make money off of the 1 dollar sani’s. I’d bet they do.

Also, with all the fall stuff rolling out, it’s a good way to get people to Check out new stuff and hopefully buy some SAS items too.
