@@emadinah last years winter SAS was bad too! I actually bought more this year- but I think that’s because I got lucky and found spring candles for 75% off, the Emily in Paris Eiffel Tower candle holder for 50% off, some wallflower refills and new wall flower plugs. I really didn’t buy any body care. They have a new CEO, and I think they have been missing the mark- a lot of things have felt significantly less exciting. It’s all about bringing the right re- packages and for the right sale points. They need someone who understands their customer base
Agree, they just care about making at much money as possible. The 50% off new releases and soaps were a joke. I saw a lady filling up her basket with half off soaps, I was like no lady, don't do it! Lmao 😂 I'm not paying $4 for a soap. 😢😭
They are greedy that is why. They need to realize if they have better prices, that they would still make money. Because chances are they would buy more, if they were cheaper during this sale. Corporate is out of touch, it is not only about the money. To keep customers, you need to make them want to come back.
me too! i did an online order and i ordered early in the morning just so the product wouldn’t sell out. a few hours later i see the product is sold out at the location i was at, called the store, they told me they haven’t made ANY online orders yet. so i asked if they still had the product i wanted and said no. so disappointed. they had to cancel my order and i had to get it at another store
@@20-NYC There were a bunch of soaps in red bins in the 50% of section. The soaps retail for $7.95 or $8.95. Paying half price for soaps is not a sale, it's a rip-off and I was a little insulted that B&BW called that a SAS sale. Even if she used the code sent in the email for $2.99 soaps, that is not a SAS worthy price. I only buy soaps at SAS when they are marked down, usually the last weekend of SAS, at 75% off but that's just my price threshold. Everybody is upset because these are not SAS prices, most of us are expecting more things to be marked down at 75% off. It's only day one of SAS so time will tell.
Me too. But this year is the first year I have stayed up to date with Bonnie's weekly videos, so I have bought everything I wanted throughout the year on the lowest priced sale days.
They did us dirty! I agree Billie really messed up this year. Disappointing year compared to years past for me. Usually the throwbacks are a better sale. Thanks for great videos. BBW needs to actually listen to what customers want
Yeah in 2014 I got fox underwear there on sale and this fox that you stick to your mirror or in your bathtub to hang a bath loofah on and some more other stuff I no longer have all for like $20 🤷♀️
@nurahel-fayoumy4232 lol. Apparently thats the " fake person" she mentioned in video.. they used to talk about fiction person nsmed Kate too that started Bbw. I like their old school scents from 90s. Look up Kate and Bbw. I guess their trying to modernize but it sucks lol
Hi Bonnie! Thanks for doing the work for us 🙌 I was so disappointed when I went to the app this morning and saw that the new releases weren’t 3 or 4.95. This “sale” isn’t great and I’m still disappointed that I no longer receive coupons. Definitely cutting back next year on shopping there. I read somewhere that they give less coupons the more you shop (other than influencers) so I am super annoyed that loyal customers are being left out rather than rewarded for the money they spend. I get my free reward but I feel like I should still get coupons too.
I only went a few times this year idk why I didn’t get the coupon but I have a second phone that I put the Bath and body Works app on so technically I will still get the coupon just not all of the points
My store had tons of 75% candles which shocked me! Strawberry pound cake, iced lemon pound cake, mahogany rose, the old cherry blossom pound cake, and tons more!
I found the last one at mine. But i know if i go to another location there’s going to be a ton because I hit up almost every location in my state during the last sale and ironically enough the locations in the city had a lot more six dollar candles and a lot better stuff compared to the location in my small town.
Mine had a lot of 75% off candles. They had what you mentioned plus a lot of Paris Cafe which I got a couple. Strange they didnt have those with all the Paris themed stuff earlier.
The live was fun last night! Cue the Confetti is totally sold out in my area in all the stores. I saw 2 in the 75% off bin when I was looking around. I was hoping to find Watermelon Lemonade. It sold out day 1 of summer SAS and I never got a mist. I probably will not make an online order to get it.
I agree Bonnie - disappointed in rhe starting prices. I know its a marathon, but with the way the popular items have been selling out lately, Im hoping there is still good stock on the bring backs for them to go to 75%. I ordered my one favorite, but refuse to get anything else unless the prices go down
I've been sick for days so I didn't get to stores today, but honestly, I'm only really interested in a few new releases, like Pearberry, and I will not buy those at 50% off! Sounds like I'm not missing much this SAS.
Went to 2 stores, first one had no 75% off candles. But I did get the sleeping polar bear candle holder, 50% off, but I still consider that a great find! Second store had 75% off candles maybe 6-8 scents. Also found a bunch of men’s colognes 50% off so pickup up Nocturnal Cherry for my husband, which I have been wanting. Will probably try to go to another store tomorrow, but we’ll see.
I got 3 candles for $11.95. Sets of In the Sun, Malibu Heat, Coconut Lime Verbena and Buttercups & Berry Bellini. I also scored 3 bottles of Blueberry Bundt Cake mists at 75% off. I'm super happy. My price point was $4.95 in Toronto, Canada on the rest.
I didn’t buy anything. I checked both in store and online. Very surprised with the lack of selection. My store was busy but not many people got in line to make a purchase.
My store had quite a few 75% off 3 wicks so I was pretty happy. Candles are my BBW addiction. I wasn’t sure about the cherry blossom pound cake but I bought 3 anyway since a lot of people love those. I also got some Main Street Bakery. I remembered your review, Bonnie! Also some summer stuff like watermelon lemonade just cuz why not? 75% off! I want 75% single wicks if and when they go on sale. Better bang for the buck imo! Hope the deals get better for those of you who were disappointed 🙏😊
this years sas isn’t that good , but i was able to get my sea island shore . i’m glad they brought it back 💙it’s my favorite. i’m going back for more before it ends 😊
If I hadn't picked up a few men's shower gels, I wouldn't have bought anything today. I was there at opening and the store was busy but NO ONE was buying from the new releases 50% table, no one was even looking at that stuff so I felt safe waiting until 75% off to get Malibu Heat. I was disappointed but instead I went to Walmart and bought some Bodycology. It's so affordable and they have some nice B&BW dupes. I was excited to get Cozy Fireside S'mores, which is a dupe for Bonfire Bash, which unfortunately didn't come out this year. It's time for me to start exploring other brands. TFS Bonnie ❤❤❤
I didn't get an online coupon or one in the mail and I order all the time especially around the holidays. I've ordered twice before Christmas. Anybody else have this experience?
Coupons are run by a third party. I’ve had a six month drought before with no coupons. I work at bbw, spend lots of money, and didn’t get any coupons again for SAS. It’s totally a hit and miss sometimes.
@@ms_fireflyits true coupons are ran by a 3rd party . Their system is flawed some get like 3 sets eevery month (like 3 diff ppl in the home ) some have not gotten for years. Some only 2 or 3 times a yr . During holidays it was 3 sets i never got any my mom who only gets coupons around holiday got 2 of the 3 and gave to me. I did get the sas coupons but hell i didnt have the last 3.
We have a "parcel" store, (small) Jacksonville, Florida - just went there and there is a lot of leftover. Found Cloud Nine, not for me but as a gifter. Did not purchase anything else , have it all at least twice over.
I shopped online this morning. I shopped for body care under $4 to stock up for birthdays and Christmas. We will see what kind of sales they will have in 2025. I think that they know people have gift cards so they, didn't put a lot on sale. On to the next SAS. Have a good weekend from Atlanta 🎉
I thought the sale was terrible! I was hoping the throwback scents would has been 3.95 but nope! I was hoping to get cue the confetti for 75% off because I like the packaging but it was in the 50% off bin!😳
Hey Bonnie, I'm glad I got the Blueberry Bundt Cake in the mist and the the cream when it came out but they were sold out of the shower gel. I also want the Strawberry Pound cake in the cream and the shower gel (I already have a full mist) but they were out of it too. Oh well, maybe next time 😂
Thanks Bonnie. I got some colognes and body sprays for my husband, but nothing for me. I went to two stores, and the second was practically bare just a couple of hours after they opened.
I ordered 3 Brightest Bloom and 8 Blush Amber&Peony candles for $6.73 each. I used a reward to get another Chocolate Orange single wick. If my order doesn’t get cancelled I will be happy. Happy Thursday!
Brightest bloom i saw and skipped....had zero throw when i burned it earlier this year. I did get 3 blush amber /peony... wish for a plain peony scent like perfect peony they refuse to bring back. The amber mutes the peony some to me at least.
Yes a little disappointing! Not a lot at 75% and pear berry only 50% off. Not a lot of Christmas stuff especially candles. However, I bought (only 1 there) the black cat large candle holder! Down to $7.49 with the 75% off. Picked up diamond of the season and pumpkin latte shower gel with 75 % off Also, no more black camomile zen lotion. The salesgirl said it will prob come back. I hope so 😮
Hi Bonnie so far the sas is not going very well for me going to have to go to several stores to give it a good old try to find some candles and clearance hand soaps wish me luck
I feel like we had better deals in Canada. If anyone lives by the border, I suggest doing a little day trip. The exchange rate is great for you guys and you’ll get more bang for your buck!
I know!!! That sux that those new new candlez weren't on sale!!! I passed on getting them at $19.50 since i thought they'd be $10.50 today. Nooooooo!!! Back up to $26.50. So wrong!!!🤬🤬🤬🤬
Bonnie, I'm hitting up Easton in Columbus today! There are several B&B locations. My small town has only one and it's awful. I feel like this sale has always been hit or miss for me. If you are looking for something specific, you'll be disappointed. I kinda just take it for what it is: I don't have to have anything, but it's nice if I score a deal. Meh....
Most of my bopis order has been canceled - went from 9 items down to 4. But, eh, that's fine. This particular sale doesn't really excite me from what I've seen online, but maybe in-store will be fun.
Bonnie, What in the world….. i just got home at 4.50p and the stores inside line wrapped around . It looked like people scavenged thru. I have never seen it like that. I came out the store and the line outside was til the end of store. Overwhelming busy at mine. It wasnt this bad at Candle day. 😢. No product i really wanted feel disgusted
I was waiting in line before they opened, along with LOTS of other people. It was a complete let down. My store basically had Christmas, a few fall candles, and that 50% sale was a joke. Just a sad setup. I ordered a few things online and bought one candle in store. The summer SAS was so much better. 👎
There were like 40 people gathered around the door when I got there about 5 mins before they opened. I didn’t realize the store didn’t open until 11. First and last time I’ll do that.
This was the worst semi annual sale I have ever been to. Went to 2 stores not one 75% off candle and I was one of the first people in the door at opening. The only 75% off body care was vanilla bean noel and winter candy apple. Not much else . I couldn't find anything to buy. So disappointed
My store in Canada was great! Lots of Emily in Paris, Halloween/fall, Christmas/polar planet and the bring backs. I got a few bring back items and I stocked up on Pink Obsessed since it’s being discontinued. Disappointed though that Perfect In Pink was not included in the sale since I wanted to stock up (but on the flip side this just means it will be around until probably Valentine’s Day and I can stock up with the coupon they gave me for the new year!). I was also disappointed there wasn’t any minis included in the sale at my store but maybe that’s just a my store thing 🤷♀️
I have until dec 31 to find something worth buying and using my $10 off because i am doing a no buy for 1 year and going to actually use my stashes up. Also have a reward to use and a couple exchanges before i quit. I am thinking prices will keep going up, free shipping is mostly on $100 and everything is going to skyrocket in prices if that tariff tax goes in effect from plastics to cars 😢
I was very disappointed in the sale and in the selection. I bought lipstick L O L and the Paris collection and a couple of plug-ins. It was not worth leaving the house at the crack of dawn ha ha
@@s.r6331yeah mine is 3 diff shipments. 2 very small ones shipped. The larger one hasnt ...makes me nervous something will cancel. I have bad multiple shipments though i think its a newer thing they are doing to ship things faster from multiple warehouses
Omg I got only 1 fine fragrance mist on body care sale of cue the confetti and couldn’t get anything else all sold out online and everywhere near me. Couldn’t find ANY of it for sas. I’m so sad!!! I really like it!
Worse sale they have ever had. We get better sales all year long from them then this the scents they brought back were only 50% off making them over $8.95 body care day has cheaper prices then that. And I know the sale was horrendous because I had so many other of my family/friends that love B&BW like me say thsi sale sucks! This was the worse S.A.S yet the onlyyyy things I purchased were 2 wallflower plugs
Happy Kwanzaa! I never thought to say this SAS was a bummer, first in line ! No $6 candles ,regular candles and holiday was $10.95 selective 1 wick candles 50% off 3 or 4 tables for 75% off ,3 or 4 tables for 50% off selected minis 3 for $ 7 selected laundry detergent 50% off Christmas candle holders different types 50% off Mist gift sets 50% off brought 1 pearberry 50% off reg. Price , Halloween soap dispenser 75% off that was the only thing that had in Halloween besides vampire blood mist, Strawberry Pound Cake 75% off I did buy some of those , not a good sale on hand soap. My coupon for 10 off wouldn't show up. Store rep, try to bring it up, couldn't bummer, dissatisfied customer !!
I was lucky! I asked if there were any 75% off candles & the staff who was obviously new said she didn't know what % they were but they were $10.95. BUT then after I was there shopping at least 1/2 hour and ready to leave, I saw they had just put a bunch of candles on a 75% off table that was emptying off from lip products! So I got 2 Strawberry Pound Cake, 1 Iced Lemon Poundcake, 1 Berry Waffle Cone, & 1 Pink Lavendar & Espresso! With my $10 off $40 coupon, that brought the price of the candles to $5.12 except for PLE was $5.53. I saw Coconut Milkshake, that Bakeshop one that has banana in it, among others. I bought 2 of the Pink Gumball soaps & with my coupon it brought that down to $1.63. Then I got a Snowflakes & Cashmere glowing scrub that rang up at 3.89 with the coupon & a lotion in that rang up at 3.27. I got a moisturizing body wash in Japanese Cherry Blossom for 3.48, a Vacation Vibe shower gel for 3.28 and a Emily in Paris Parisian Pearl lipstick for 2.66, so my subtotal was $45.88, with taxes 48.59, saved $177.52. I was excited to smell the ones I wasn't familiar with, In the Sun, Coconut Lime Verbena (which I bought last summer in wallflower & thought it was great) but neither of those impressed me. I was suprised I DID LIKE a lot the new Bellini Buttercup one & Pearberry, both, but I'm waiting for them to drop in price. The coffee lip products I wanted were sold out. My store had NO Cue the Confetti at all, so maybe yours got ours, lol! It was selling really good at the Body Care event, I noticed. People were really grabbing up all the 50% off products. So all in all, I was pretty happy with my haul today. I am thinking they will drop to 3.95 another day, maybe tomorrow or Saturday. I went in the late afternoon, so maybe that was the difference today in getting the candles. They are probably varying it up as to when to put the candles out. Also later they brought out a bunch of the old Everyday Luxury line and pulled them from the $5.95 area, and moved them into the $4.95 bins.
If bbw corp sees this ...retired scents ever sas needs to be 3.95 for the 1st week or weekend ....candles....any leftover candle scents from oct or before ...so fall and before should start 75% off bat. Christmas maybe 1 week 10.50 and then drop to 75% . Example: walmart after christmas is 50% and normally on dec 31st or jan 1st they go down to 75% and then like a week later 90% off and they start coverting the seasonal aisle to valentines and moving whatever remains to the clearance aisle. Bbw you need to price to move/ customers feel appreciated to actually be able to find a deal
Hmm😕sounds like a lotta folks are upset abt the starting prices but this isn’t necessarily anything new. There have been quite a few years where they DONT start the SAS Bodycare or other items off at anything better than 50% off and then eventually lower the price. Same with the candles. I’d say just wait it out and see if your desired items are still around when prices start to drop. Also wouldn’t advise shopping 75% off just because, like if you don’t luv it just wait til the new half off stuffs drops and save ya coins😊
I made my purchase just wanted to use my 25 % coupon and free shipping. However ddint see much stuff i really wanted confetti cue but wasnt for shipping. Also at the beach wasnt on sale 😢
I went to the store when they opened and they didn’t even have hand soaps! No candles hardly anything… then I looked online and it also sucked. I got nothing. I feel like these sales are getting worse and worse every time.
Today was terrible! None of the employees knew the prices .The soap was 50 off unless you had the 2.99 coupon. I couldn't use the 10 off 40 . I bought 22 soaps and spent $70. Sas was a big disappointment
I didn’t get a coupon this year! Very disappointed I spent a lot of money candle day and body care day! Yes it seems they didn’t reward the people that spent a lot of money! The candles I find this year to not give off enough throw don’t smell at all very dissatisfied!
The throwback scents were a letdown. My store had all of them at a table with a $4.95 sign. They were actually 50% off. All the body care I got was from that collection except for one 75% off item. Very disappointed that the throwback line wasn’t $4.95 first day like it usually is. I spent $130, the most I’ve ever spent at SAS and I feel like I didn’t get much. I overpaid and I will be getting a price adjustment or returning and repurchasing my items when the prices go down.
I was so disappointed to see that all the Buttercups & Berry Bellini was sold out both in my store and online. Also sad to see that Vanilla Romance wasn't on sale. That being said though I am surprised people said the new stuff wasn't 3.95/4.95. When I checked online today on the Canada site it was all listed at 4.95, same with in my store. Shame to see it also wasn't the case for the US site and stores. I did however pick up the rest of the Everyday Luxuries collection due to them phasing it out soon (got duplicates of Pink Obsessed. It's my fave) and a bunch of Emily In Paris stuff. Obsessed with that Macaron Cloud
I was interested in Malibu Heat and Coconut Lime Verbena, but I think I will skip the Semi-Annual Sale this time. I have so much that I need to use up already. The stuff I have will last me until September. If they offer Black Raspberry Vanilla or Sun Ripened Raspberry for the Summer semi-annual sale I will buy that. But I think I'll wait for the Fall/Halloween scents to come out again and order something for October and November. Then get a Christmas scent for December. If the next Winter semi-annual sale has something good, I'll definitely pick up something then. I buy too much and once then something else that I'm interested in comes out and I have to get that. I just need to use up what I have before I can buy more.
Is went to two stores. One had zero holiday candles,they had one tiny table of candles and the rest was all body care. The bigger store I went to had a lot of candles from fall and holiday
They likely have too much holiday scent body care and were trying to push that first day. If inventory stays high on the new stuff they likely will drop the price after they sell through the holiday scents
If you took a screenshot of the online code it should still work for an online or BOPIS order. It disappears because technically it says one time use only. If you do the online code first you at least still have your paper coupon to use in store. But since the paper and online are tied together as soon as you use either one it will automatically disappear from the app.
I was lucky to get 75% off 3 wicks in store and online....but the sale had barely any stock. The retired scents should have been 3.95 from Thursday thru the weekend at least . Overall i don't think the sale is good for most....im personally pleased though
Some posted on reddit they got $5 candles online at 6am. The mashup Hello Beautiful+Black Cherry Merlot and Some other last SAS candles.😮 By 8am they were gone. There should be a limit per scent so others can get a chance to stock up.
I found blended candles and the neutrals collection in my store for 75% and grabbed a few. Things are in short supply so it don't make sense to put a limit on it
My store only had 1 cue tye confetti lotion and one body wash at 9 am when they opened so apparently people on northern California like it lol 😂 and Paris amor was in tye half off table at my store I think they just put it in the wrong spot. Also they had NOT ONE Malibu heat ffm left at opening bcuz people bought them using bopis at half off
I've seen better SAS's..only the Christmas stuff was 75% off at my store..very poor selection of candles..no "Pink Tie Dye" and "Cue The Confetti" fragrance mist, either. Hopefully the sale will improve going forward, but, if this is what's available today, my hopes aren't too high for the future.
@@QueenoftheGirlGeeksIts lackluster and the scent faded before 30 minutes. Im waiting on the Grape scent dropping Next month from the Sweet Tarts Collab!
I was really looking forward to this SAS!! Now I think I'm going to save my money for the next "spring" drop that's in the pipeline. Really looking forward to some good old comfort scents like Paris Cafe, Endless Weekend, Lavender Marshmallow etc. Some promising new scents didcussed on Ken's channel too.. I'm SO hoping pink lilac and vanilla shows up soon! I am wary of getting excited now; the christmas candles this year had terrible throw, and so many went kerosine-y and expired cooking oil stinky 1/3 into burning. I feel like they might be scenting the top 1/3 of the candles but filing the bottom with lower quality ingredients. Some even smelled like the wrong scent was put in the jar, Xmas Cookie and Under the Xmas Tree especially. The wallflowers barely smelled at all once plugged in and the room sprays smell so good but last only seconds. I'm becoming a hand soap and laundry soap girlie at this point, until and unless the quality gets a major upgrade. So sad. This was such a fun staple in my life. I'll probably go back to buying fun makeup now lol
Agree quality is down. And i think u are on to something only good scent in top of candle. When i get half way the quality goes down by alot! My mom i got her a pink lilac and vanilla 75% off and she burned it and raved on it so hoping to get her another for mothers day on a good sale
I was very surprised that I did not get coconut lime verbena, but it smelled like floor cleaner to me and I feel like the original was so much more fresh and vibrant and coconut. I did not like this one.
This year’s semiannual sale is AWFUL🙄😡
exactly
@@emadinah last years winter SAS was bad too! I actually bought more this year- but I think that’s because I got lucky and found spring candles for 75% off, the Emily in Paris Eiffel Tower candle holder for 50% off, some wallflower refills and new wall flower plugs. I really didn’t buy any body care. They have a new CEO, and I think they have been missing the mark- a lot of things have felt significantly less exciting. It’s all about bringing the right re- packages and for the right sale points. They need someone who understands their customer base
Agree 💯percent
Very disappointed. I feel like it was a very low effort on bathandbodyworks part to give their customers a good SAS experience.
Agree, they just care about making at much money as possible. The 50% off new releases and soaps were a joke. I saw a lady filling up her basket with half off soaps, I was like no lady, don't do it! Lmao 😂 I'm not paying $4 for a soap. 😢😭
They are greedy that is why. They need to realize if they have better prices, that they would still make money. Because chances are they would buy more, if they were cheaper during this sale. Corporate is out of touch, it is not only about the money. To keep customers, you need to make them want to come back.
me too! i did an online order and i ordered early in the morning just so the product wouldn’t sell out. a few hours later i see the product is sold out at the location i was at, called the store, they told me they haven’t made ANY online orders yet. so i asked if they still had the product i wanted and said no. so disappointed. they had to cancel my order and i had to get it at another store

I am on a use it up before I buy any more product. So kind of glad not much interests me!
Worst semi-annual sale
They did us dirty!

I only went a few times this year idk why I didn’t get the coupon but I have a second phone that I put the Bath and body Works app on so technically I will still get the coupon just not all of the points
With the coupons, the sale was very good.
Whomever in Marketing needs to be fired. Why are bring backs half off?
Yes thankyou Bonnie for the heads ups on everything. I was much more prepared with your help. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
My store had tons of 75% candles which shocked me! Strawberry pound cake, iced lemon pound cake, mahogany rose, the old cherry blossom pound cake, and tons more!
That’s awesome!
I found the last one at mine. But i know if i go to another location there’s going to be a ton because I hit up almost every location in my state during the last sale and ironically enough the locations in the city had a lot more six dollar candles and a lot better stuff compared to the location in my small town.

They had no cue the confetti left in NYC bath and body works. It sold very well in NYC. I wanted another spray and body wash. Love the scent.
The live was fun last night! Cue the Confetti is totally sold out in my area in all the stores. I saw 2 in the 75% off bin when I was looking around. I was hoping to find Watermelon Lemonade. It sold out day 1 of summer SAS and I never got a mist. I probably will not make an online order to get it.
I love Cue the Confetti! My store sold out on body care sale day and i cant even find it online.
Oh no!
I agree Bonnie - disappointed in rhe starting prices. I know its a marathon, but with the way the popular items have been selling out lately, Im hoping there is still good stock on the bring backs for them to go to 75%. I ordered my one favorite, but refuse to get anything else unless the prices go down
Thank you for saying the time. I could only shop online this morning because I'm working but they had about 8-10 scents for 75% off at 6am EST.
SAS a huge disappointment!! Didn't buy anything today.
I've been sick for days so I didn't get to stores today, but honestly, I'm only really interested in a few new releases, like Pearberry, and I will not buy those at 50% off! Sounds like I'm not missing much this SAS.
I found Blueberry Bundt Cake in the mist!! 🫐
Went to 2 stores, first one had no 75% off candles. But I did get the sleeping polar bear candle holder, 50% off, but I still consider that a great find! Second store had 75% off candles maybe 6-8 scents. Also found a bunch of men’s colognes 50% off so pickup up Nocturnal Cherry for my husband, which I have been wanting. Will probably try to go to another store tomorrow, but we’ll see.
I got 3 candles for $11.95. Sets of In the Sun, Malibu Heat, Coconut Lime Verbena and Buttercups & Berry Bellini. I also scored 3 bottles of Blueberry Bundt Cake mists at 75% off. I'm super happy. My price point was $4.95 in Toronto, Canada on the rest.
I didn’t buy anything. I checked both in store and online. Very surprised with the lack of selection. My store was busy but not many people got in line to make a purchase.
My store had quite a few 75% off 3 wicks so I was pretty happy. Candles are my BBW addiction. I wasn’t sure about the cherry blossom pound cake but I bought 3 anyway since a lot of people love those. I also got some Main Street Bakery. I remembered your review, Bonnie! Also some summer stuff like watermelon lemonade just cuz why not? 75% off! I want 75% single wicks if and when they go on sale. Better bang for the buck imo! Hope the deals get better for those of you who were disappointed 🙏😊
this years sas isn’t that good , but i was able to get my sea island shore . i’m glad they brought it back 💙it’s my favorite. i’m going back for more before it ends 😊
If I hadn't picked up a few men's shower gels, I wouldn't have bought anything today. I was there at opening and the store was busy but NO ONE was buying from the new releases 50% table, no one was even looking at that stuff so I felt safe waiting until 75% off to get Malibu Heat. I was disappointed but instead I went to Walmart and bought some Bodycology. It's so affordable and they have some nice B&BW dupes. I was excited to get Cozy Fireside S'mores, which is a dupe for Bonfire Bash, which unfortunately didn't come out this year. It's time for me to start exploring other brands. TFS Bonnie ❤❤❤
Cozy Fireside S’mores from Bodycology is really good!
I found the last $6.74 candle and i got 2 seasonal body sprays. I was like damn this weak ill have to check other locations.
I didn't get an online coupon or one in the mail and I order all the time especially around the holidays. I've ordered twice before Christmas. Anybody else have this experience?
Same here😢
I haven't gotten a coupon in a long time.
Coupons are run by a third party. I’ve had a six month drought before with no coupons. I work at bbw, spend lots of money, and didn’t get any coupons again for SAS. It’s totally a hit and miss sometimes.
Interesting, thanks. Such strange idiosyncrasies for such a large company.@@Ohiogardengoddess
@@ms_fireflyits true coupons are ran by a 3rd party . Their system is flawed some get like 3 sets eevery month (like 3 diff ppl in the home ) some have not gotten for years. Some only 2 or 3 times a yr . During holidays it was 3 sets i never got any my mom who only gets coupons around holiday got 2 of the 3 and gave to me. I did get the sas coupons but hell i didnt have the last 3.
You’re hilarious!!! 😂
We have a "parcel" store, (small) Jacksonville, Florida - just went there and there is a lot of leftover. Found Cloud Nine, not for me but as a gifter. Did not purchase anything else , have it all at least twice over.
I shopped online this morning. I shopped for body care under $4 to stock up for birthdays and Christmas. We will see what kind of sales they will have in 2025. I think that they know people have gift cards so they, didn't put a lot on sale. On to the next SAS. Have a good weekend from Atlanta 🎉
I thought the sale was terrible! I was hoping the throwback scents would has been 3.95 but nope! I was hoping to get cue the confetti for 75% off because I like the packaging but it was in the 50% off bin!😳
Hey Bonnie, I'm glad I got the Blueberry Bundt Cake in the mist and the the cream when it came out but they were sold out of the shower gel. I also want the Strawberry Pound cake in the cream and the shower gel (I already have a full mist) but they were out of it too. Oh well, maybe next time 😂
Thanks Bonnie. I got some colognes and body sprays for my husband, but nothing for me. I went to two stores, and the second was practically bare just a couple of hours after they opened.
I ordered 3 Brightest Bloom and 8 Blush Amber&Peony candles for $6.73 each. I used a reward to get another Chocolate Orange single wick. If my order doesn’t get cancelled I will be happy. Happy Thursday!
So they often get cancelled due to demand? (Greenie here), sorry
@ it can happen when items sell out really fast.
Brightest bloom i saw and skipped....had zero throw when i burned it earlier this year. I did get 3 blush amber /peony... wish for a plain peony scent like perfect peony they refuse to bring back. The amber mutes the peony some to me at least.
Yes a little disappointing! Not a lot at 75% and pear berry only 50% off. Not a lot of Christmas stuff especially candles. However, I bought (only 1 there) the black cat large candle holder! Down to $7.49 with the 75% off.
Picked up diamond of the season and pumpkin latte shower gel with 75 % off Also, no more black camomile zen lotion. The salesgirl said it will prob come back. I hope so 😮
Hi Bonnie so far the sas is not going very well for me going to have to go to several stores to give it a good old try to find some candles and clearance hand soaps wish me luck
My store did not have any candle at 75% off, they were 10.95.
I feel like we had better deals in Canada. If anyone lives by the border, I suggest doing a little day trip. The exchange rate is great for you guys and you’ll get more bang for your buck!
Im not mad, i got the diamond wallflower, a heart fuzzy bag and the crocs! 😊
I started out to late to make it to any stores today. I will try again tomorrow. Why are people trashing the sale on day one? I don’t get it.
I’m not going. I have to use what I have. Skipping his one.
I know!!! That sux that those new new candlez weren't on sale!!! I passed on getting them at $19.50 since i thought they'd be $10.50 today. Nooooooo!!! Back up to $26.50. So wrong!!!🤬🤬🤬🤬
This has always been like this. Here's a tip.. buy candles that's 10.95 and exchange them. Has to be the same tix price.
Bonnie, I'm hitting up Easton in Columbus today! There are several B&B locations. My small town has only one and it's awful. I feel like this sale has always been hit or miss for me. If you are looking for something specific, you'll be disappointed. I kinda just take it for what it is: I don't have to have anything, but it's nice if I score a deal. Meh....
This is the first time I haven’t shopped SAS in a very long time. So disappointing! None of my other BBW girlfriends shopped today either.
I'm glad I stayed home for the first time in years. I made a online order that still waiting to be filled. If it gets filled great, if not I'll live.
Be careful if you try to use the coupon from the mailer and the in app on, it is the same code
Most of my bopis order has been canceled - went from 9 items down to 4. But, eh, that's fine. This particular sale doesn't really excite me from what I've seen online, but maybe in-store will be fun.
I like Cue the confetti lol lol😂❤
I like it too!
Its delish!
Bonnie, What in the world….. i just got home at 4.50p and the stores inside line wrapped around . It looked like people scavenged thru. I have never seen it like that. I came out the store and the line outside was til the end of store. Overwhelming busy at mine. It wasnt this bad at Candle day. 😢. No product i really wanted feel disgusted
I was waiting in line before they opened, along with LOTS of other people. It was a complete let down. My store basically had Christmas, a few fall candles, and that 50% sale was a joke. Just a sad setup. I ordered a few things online and bought one candle in store. The summer SAS was so much better. 👎
The summer one was so great i went to almost every location in my state 😂
…waited in line??
There were like 40 people gathered around the door when I got there about 5 mins before they opened. I didn’t realize the store didn’t open until 11. First and last time I’ll do that.
I am really mad we cant add our 10 off 40 coupons online 😢
I used my 10 off 40 coupon online. You only need the STOCKUP code for the 2.99 soaps and maybe the 10.95 candles, but I didn’t need any of those.
Ive NEVER received a coupon
This was the worst semi annual sale I have ever been to. Went to 2 stores not one 75% off candle and I was one of the first people in the door at opening. The only 75% off body care was vanilla bean noel and winter candy apple. Not much else . I couldn't find anything to buy. So disappointed
I got some plug ins. Was sad the bring backs weren’t 75% off. The hand soap selection wasn’t the best but I got four.
My store in Canada was great! Lots of Emily in Paris, Halloween/fall, Christmas/polar planet and the bring backs. I got a few bring back items and I stocked up on Pink Obsessed since it’s being discontinued. Disappointed though that Perfect In Pink was not included in the sale since I wanted to stock up (but on the flip side this just means it will be around until probably Valentine’s Day and I can stock up with the coupon they gave me for the new year!). I was also disappointed there wasn’t any minis included in the sale at my store but maybe that’s just a my store thing 🤷♀️
Perfect in Pink was on the Canadian site this morning on sale.
@ oh really? I went online at 6 am and I only saw the handsoap on sale. At my store only the hand sanitizer was on sale.
@@sarar9878 We're referring to Canada by the way.
I have until dec 31 to find something worth buying and using my $10 off because i am doing a no buy for 1 year and going to actually use my stashes up. Also have a reward to use and a couple exchanges before i quit. I am thinking prices will keep going up, free shipping is mostly on $100 and everything is going to skyrocket in prices if that tariff tax goes in effect from plastics to cars
😢
Cue the Confetti is a dupe for Jo Malone’s Blackberry & Bay. I love it. Keep hating on it so there’s more for the rest of us.
Hee hee, right on!
Happy Thursday ❌️ ⭕️
I was very disappointed in the sale and in the selection. I bought lipstick L O L and the Paris collection and a couple of plug-ins. It was not worth leaving the house at the crack of dawn ha ha
My order from this morning already shipped🙂
I saw that mine is shipping in multiple shipments. I’ve never had that happen before.
@@DemFolkssame here. I just hope nothing gets canceled
I've never had that happen before. I hope I'm as lucky as you are.
@@s.r6331 same!
@@s.r6331yeah mine is 3 diff shipments. 2 very small ones shipped. The larger one hasnt ...makes me nervous something will cancel. I have bad multiple shipments though i think its a newer thing they are doing to ship things faster from multiple warehouses
Omg I got only 1 fine fragrance mist on body care sale of cue the confetti and couldn’t get anything else all sold out online and everywhere near me. Couldn’t find ANY of it for sas. I’m so sad!!! I really like it!
I love blueberry bundt cake can't wait to go am there Sunday
It’s my desert island scent ! Glad I stocked up last summer when they had good sales ! 🫐🧁🩵
Worse sale they have ever had. We get better sales all year long from them then this the scents they brought back were only 50% off making them over $8.95 body care day has cheaper prices then that. And I know the sale was horrendous because I had so many other of my family/friends that love B&BW like me say thsi sale sucks! This was the worse S.A.S yet the onlyyyy things I purchased were 2 wallflower plugs
Yay! Go Kristen! She just won a giveaway on my channel Bonnie!! ❤🎉❤🎉
I used my reward for Malibu Heat. I was not paying 50% off 😳. They got us good this year.🤪
Happy Kwanzaa! I never thought to say this SAS was a bummer, first in line ! No $6 candles ,regular candles and holiday was $10.95 selective 1 wick candles 50% off 3 or 4 tables for 75% off ,3 or 4 tables for 50% off selected minis 3 for $ 7 selected laundry detergent 50% off Christmas candle holders different types 50% off Mist gift sets 50% off brought 1 pearberry 50% off reg. Price , Halloween soap dispenser 75% off that was the only thing that had in Halloween besides vampire blood mist, Strawberry Pound Cake 75% off I did buy some of those , not a good sale on hand soap. My coupon for 10 off wouldn't show up. Store rep, try to bring it up, couldn't bummer, dissatisfied customer !!
I was lucky! I asked if there were any 75% off candles & the staff who was obviously new said she didn't know what % they were but they were $10.95. BUT then after I was there shopping at least 1/2 hour and ready to leave, I saw they had just put a bunch of candles on a 75% off table that was emptying off from lip products! So I got 2 Strawberry Pound Cake, 1 Iced Lemon Poundcake, 1 Berry Waffle Cone, & 1 Pink Lavendar & Espresso! With my $10 off $40 coupon, that brought the price of the candles to $5.12 except for PLE was $5.53. I saw Coconut Milkshake, that Bakeshop one that has banana in it, among others. I bought 2 of the Pink Gumball soaps & with my coupon it brought that down to $1.63. Then I got a Snowflakes & Cashmere glowing scrub that rang up at 3.89 with the coupon & a lotion in that rang up at 3.27. I got a moisturizing body wash in Japanese Cherry Blossom for 3.48, a Vacation Vibe shower gel for 3.28 and a Emily in Paris Parisian Pearl lipstick for 2.66, so my subtotal was $45.88, with taxes 48.59, saved $177.52. I was excited to smell the ones I wasn't familiar with, In the Sun, Coconut Lime Verbena (which I bought last summer in wallflower & thought it was great) but neither of those impressed me. I was suprised I DID LIKE a lot the new Bellini Buttercup one & Pearberry, both, but I'm waiting for them to drop in price. The coffee lip products I wanted were sold out. My store had NO Cue the Confetti at all, so maybe yours got ours, lol! It was selling really good at the Body Care event, I noticed. People were really grabbing up all the 50% off products. So all in all, I was pretty happy with my haul today. I am thinking they will drop to 3.95 another day, maybe tomorrow or Saturday. I went in the late afternoon, so maybe that was the difference today in getting the candles. They are probably varying it up as to when to put the candles out. Also later they brought out a bunch of the old Everyday Luxury line and pulled them from the $5.95 area, and moved them into the $4.95 bins.
If bbw corp sees this ...retired scents ever sas needs to be 3.95 for the 1st week or weekend ....candles....any leftover candle scents from oct or before ...so fall and before should start 75% off bat. Christmas maybe 1 week 10.50 and then drop to 75% . Example: walmart after christmas is 50% and normally on dec 31st or jan 1st they go down to 75% and then like a week later 90% off and they start coverting the seasonal aisle to valentines and moving whatever remains to the clearance aisle. Bbw you need to price to move/ customers feel appreciated to actually be able to find a deal
Coconut lime verbena was so vile when I sprayed it today. Immediate no for me. Its definitely not the same thing that’s in the hotels
I don't get the hype on that one. I never smelled the original though. The shower gel was ok, I might get one if the price goes down.
@@diana_prince_1The original was really good and more of a creamy coconut lime. This new version is very sharp and heavy on the verbena.
@@vegasgirl3538 Yeah, I thought the spray was very sharp and stinky. Kinda disappointed bc I'm always on the lookout for a coconut or lime scent. 🙁
Hmm😕sounds like a lotta folks are upset abt the starting prices but this isn’t necessarily anything new. There have been quite a few years where they DONT start the SAS Bodycare or other items off at anything better than 50% off and then eventually lower the price. Same with the candles. I’d say just wait it out and see if your desired items are still around when prices start to drop. Also wouldn’t advise shopping 75% off just because, like if you don’t luv it just wait til the new half off stuffs drops and save ya coins😊
I ordered online this morning for in-store pickup. I just got 4 of the Everday Luxuries mists that I didn't have. I only spent half of my budget.
I made my purchase just wanted to use my 25 % coupon and free shipping. However ddint see much stuff i really wanted confetti cue but wasnt for shipping. Also at the beach wasnt on sale 😢
I went to the store when they opened and they didn’t even have hand soaps! No candles hardly anything… then I looked online and it also sucked. I got nothing. I feel like these sales are getting worse and worse every time.
Today was terrible! None of the employees knew the prices .The soap was 50 off unless you had the 2.99 coupon. I couldn't use the 10 off 40 . I bought 22 soaps and spent $70. Sas was a big disappointment
Same at my store!
why couldn't you use your coupon?
I didn’t get a coupon this year! Very disappointed I spent a lot of money candle day and body care day! Yes it seems they didn’t reward the people that spent a lot of money! The candles I find this year to not give off enough throw don’t smell at all very dissatisfied!
@faye33ful it was a coupon for the 2.99 handsoap and they said I couldn't use both
I was very disappointed this sale I only got two new scents for me, Pearberry and Buttercups & Berry Bellini.
Bonnie, I’ve been searching for years.
Is there a newer scent that smells remotely close to the aromatherapy sleep night time tea?
I went and stuck with 75% off and $4.95, which means I got not much and spent $22. 🤷♀️
I ordered ghoul friend. Tomorrow I’ll go to store to see what they have.
The throwback scents were a letdown. My store had all of them at a table with a $4.95 sign. They were actually 50% off. All the body care I got was from that collection except for one 75% off item. Very disappointed that the throwback line wasn’t $4.95 first day like it usually is. I spent $130, the most I’ve ever spent at SAS and I feel like I didn’t get much. I overpaid and I will be getting a price adjustment or returning and repurchasing my items when the prices go down.
I was so disappointed to see that all the Buttercups & Berry Bellini was sold out both in my store and online. Also sad to see that Vanilla Romance wasn't on sale.
That being said though I am surprised people said the new stuff wasn't 3.95/4.95. When I checked online today on the Canada site it was all listed at 4.95, same with in my store. Shame to see it also wasn't the case for the US site and stores.
I did however pick up the rest of the Everyday Luxuries collection due to them phasing it out soon (got duplicates of Pink Obsessed. It's my fave) and a bunch of Emily In Paris stuff. Obsessed with that Macaron Cloud
I was interested in Malibu Heat and Coconut Lime Verbena, but I think I will skip the Semi-Annual Sale this time. I have so much that I need to use up already. The stuff I have will last me until September. If they offer Black Raspberry Vanilla or Sun Ripened Raspberry for the Summer semi-annual sale I will buy that. But I think I'll wait for the Fall/Halloween scents to come out again and order something for October and November. Then get a Christmas scent for December. If the next Winter semi-annual sale has something good, I'll definitely pick up something then. I buy too much and once then something else that I'm interested in comes out and I have to get that. I just need to use up what I have before I can buy more.
My store didn’t even have the Malibu heat lotion. I don’t understand how they didn’t even get one box of it 🙄
Is went to two stores. One had zero holiday candles,they had one tiny table of candles and the rest was all body care. The bigger store I went to had a lot of candles from fall and holiday
Happy SAS Day 1
Hi! Why would the new candles be on sale? They definitely need to get rid of their Winter candles first!!!
Walked in my store..looked around for like 10 minutes..walked right out with NOTHING...😂😂😂..disappointed
They likely have too much holiday scent body care and were trying to push that first day. If inventory stays high on the new stuff they likely will drop the price after they sell through the holiday scents
This is THE worst SAS that I've ever seen. I don't even care to shop this one.
It's such a waste of time. My store had no 75% off candles and throwback body care at 50% off is a complete joke.
My app coupon disappeared once I used the paper coupon in store. I did take a screen shot of it but where it disappeared off the app, would it work?
If you took a screenshot of the online code it should still work for an online or BOPIS order. It disappears because technically it says one time use only. If you do the online code first you at least still have your paper coupon to use in store. But since the paper and online are tied together as soon as you use either one it will automatically disappear from the app.
They changed now you can only use a coupon once....u used to be able to use it twice .
I was lucky to get 75% off 3 wicks in store and online....but the sale had barely any stock. The retired scents should have been 3.95 from Thursday thru the weekend at least . Overall i don't think the sale is good for most....im personally pleased though
Im disgusted with the first day not going backk this week. Bonnie i usually go everyday before or after work Bonnie ridiculous the prices.
My store was quiet and just a few shoppers. I was hoping for vanilla romance to be on sale but it wasn’t😢.
I refused to buy anything that was not 75% off or $4.95.
Some posted on reddit they got $5 candles online at 6am. The mashup Hello Beautiful+Black Cherry Merlot and Some other last SAS candles.😮 By 8am they were gone. There should be a limit per scent so others can get a chance to stock up.
I found blended candles and the neutrals collection in my store for 75% and grabbed a few. Things are in short supply so it don't make sense to put a limit on it
I found the last candle at the location near my doctors office 😂 kinda disappointing otherwise gonna try to hit up some other locations.
My BBW store says their SAS starts Jan 2
My store only had 1 cue tye confetti lotion and one body wash at 9 am when they opened so apparently people on northern California like it lol 😂 and Paris amor was in tye half off table at my store I think they just put it in the wrong spot. Also they had NOT ONE Malibu heat ffm left at opening bcuz people bought them using bopis at half off
I've seen better SAS's..only the Christmas stuff was 75% off at my store..very poor selection of candles..no "Pink Tie Dye" and "Cue The Confetti" fragrance mist, either. Hopefully the sale will improve going forward, but, if this is what's available today, my hopes aren't too high for the future.
Not true, I like cue the confetti and am going to get mine after work. 😊
💜💜💜
I agree cue the confetti is fire
@@QueenoftheGirlGeeksIts lackluster and the scent faded before 30 minutes. Im waiting on the Grape scent dropping Next month from the Sweet Tarts Collab!
I like cue the confetti. Apparently, a lot of people like it because they never have the lotion in stock.
It sold completely out in most, if not all of the NYC stores. I love the scent especially the body wash 🤗❤️
I really wanted Strawberry Snowflakes at 75% off. I hoped to find it in store and not have to do shipping.
Looks my store has some new/Christmas candles for $10.95...only worth if if using the coupon IMO..burning GC "Classic Christmas Tree"🎄
I was really looking forward to this SAS!! Now I think I'm going to save my money for the next "spring" drop that's in the pipeline. Really looking forward to some good old comfort scents like Paris Cafe, Endless Weekend, Lavender Marshmallow etc. Some promising new scents didcussed on Ken's channel too..
I'm SO hoping pink lilac and vanilla shows up soon! I am wary of getting excited now; the christmas candles this year had terrible throw, and so many went kerosine-y and expired cooking oil stinky 1/3 into burning. I feel like they might be scenting the top 1/3 of the candles but filing the bottom with lower quality ingredients. Some even smelled like the wrong scent was put in the jar, Xmas Cookie and Under the Xmas Tree especially. The wallflowers barely smelled at all once plugged in and the room sprays smell so good but last only seconds. I'm becoming a hand soap and laundry soap girlie at this point, until and unless the quality gets a major upgrade. So sad. This was such a fun staple in my life. I'll probably go back to buying fun makeup now lol
Agree quality is down. And i think u are on to something only good scent in top of candle. When i get half way the quality goes down by alot!
My mom i got her a pink lilac and vanilla 75% off and she burned it and raved on it so hoping to get her another for mothers day on a good sale
I just spent money on wallflowers and one 75% off candle lol
Care day was better
I have the app and signed up for paper coupons but never get a coupon!
I was very surprised that I did not get coconut lime verbena, but it smelled like floor cleaner to me and I feel like the original was so much more fresh and vibrant and coconut. I did not like this one.
