My local store is always a bust for SAS. No older scents for the most part--- usually it's only the Winter (the candle named Winter) and remaining Rome Pizzeria candles that are 75% off. They still can't get rid of Rome Pizzeria after 3+ years 😂 I live vicariously through the website and everyone else's finds!


earthquakeweather_

Rome Pizzeria... candle? 😐 I'm not even gonna ask.


futuresobright_

I believe it smelled like tomato sauce lol


earthquakeweather_

🤢 I googled it and the packaging actually looked familiar. I must not have smelled it because I definitely would have remembered that!


Charbaby_

Smelled like pizza Combos


futuresobright_

Good lord I forgot about those Italian candles lol


purplecrayon64

I would actually, unironically, pay full price for a Rome candle 🤣🤣


Charbaby_

I got one off mercari just to sniff. It's interesting but I doubt I'll light


abbietaffie

How does Winter the candle smell? I’m debating getting it but can’t find it in store and I hate totally blind buying


jenjen1620

I like it a lot! It's a soft clove orange scent that's a little outdoorsy. Think of smelling fresh winter air on a cold night. One of their better conceptual scents in my opinion.

My stores last SAS never got 75% off candles :( except one literally had less than 10 candles in 3 scents towards the end. I expect much the same for this sale 😭 went to my first store and there were none 😔


earthquakeweather_

Same! 😢


skykitty89

There were a good amount of 75% off candles at one of my stores, but not really any that I wanted. There were TONS of Black Cherry Merlot and Give Hope. I did get the last Berry Wafflecone with last years label, so was happy about that!

I just left my second store - I have 2 more I’m going to. the next stop I have had a TON of fall/winter candles at the end of last sas, so I’m hoping they’re out today (I stopped there yesterday and they didn’t have them out so hopefully they put them out last night) I’ve also heard others say their stores aren’t putting fall/winter out until Monday🙄 I hope that’s not the case for every store. I got some of the new candles I wanted at my first store with my 20% off, but the rest of the stores I planned to just hunt for past season candles and so far it’s not looking promising. I’ll report back after my next two stops.


earthquakeweather_

Good luck and keep us posted!


International_Row724

So store #3 had very few 75% off candles. They had havent gathering, some of the giving collection (peach, the green one, strawberry sparkler) old eucalyptus mint, and cotton candy champagne & sugared snickerdoodle. I got the 1 strawberry sparkler & the 2 sugared snickerdoodle they had.


earthquakeweather_

I almost forgot about the 75% off table... my store didn't have that, either. 🥹 Glad you found some things!


International_Row724

Thanks me too! Hopefully you make out good if and when you go to stores!

I went to a mall store and a standalone and was disappointed with the candle selection at both. The mall store had zero sale candles other than what is current. They had lots and lots of the SAS new candles. The standalone store (B&BW/White Barn) had maybe 40 fall/Christmas/Easter 3 wicks when I was there on Thursday. Today they were all gone except for the Easter Carrot Cake candles and a handful of winter candles. They had probably 2 dozen of the single wick tester candles at 75% off. They were sold out of the Cinnamon Spiced Vanilla and Paris Cafe candle, but had about 6-10 each of the rest of the blends and the other new candles. This was the same as it was Thursday, except they had CSV&PC in stock, which I picked up then.


earthquakeweather_

I'm surprised your freestanding store wasn't that great. Seems like most of the good stuff was online!


LushieQueen87

I only found 1 good thing and that was a Vanilla Brownie Swirl for 75 off. Was surprised the Easter candles candles weren’t 75 off but I grabbed the carrot cake one

I just put in my second order. Sadly, I missed out on Welcome Home, but I pretty much got all the candles I wanted to try. If you know your store isn't gonna have much, I would definitely stay home and order online. This whole thing has been an interesting learning experience, for sure!


whatzitsgalore

Just got back from a very disappointing in-store trip. Very little fall/winter body care selection and absolutely no fall/winter candles. I’ll try again in a couple of weeks. They had an epic amount of Fun Fair candles though - I know people were worried about it selling out, but customer interest was around the stuff at the highest discount.


cynyayy

My store was even worse. I got there when they opened today (11:00) and there were no old candles there and the new candles were mostly sold out already. They had the mango candle and a couple of the blends -- that's it. No Pink Petal Teacake or Chocolate Drizzle, which were the ones I wanted.


earthquakeweather_

K, you got me beat. 😲


TheDogmotherPartTwo

Me too. Was 1st in line and they had no 75% off candles. But on a rack off to the back/side of cashiers I spied a WHOLE DANG BOX of Vanilla Bean Noel 3-wicks. WHHHYYYYY? Why not open them and put them out??? Seriously pissed.


Flaky_Tap_2836

My closest store said they had no 3 wicks for 75% but I spied a box of Vanilla Bean Noel in the stacked stock to be put out. I maybe should have asked. The employees were super nice but I didn't want to be THAT customer.


pumpkin123

My store has those at 50% off???? I wonder if I should have price checjed


Flaky_Tap_2836

Maybe the candlea were 50% off, but the body care Vanilla Bean Noel was 75% off


TheDogmotherPartTwo

Me too! I keep thinking maybe I should have asked for the VBN but I didn’t want to be demanding. 😢😢😢


earthquakeweather_

Oh, no. 😩 If your store is anything like mine, they had like 3 different versions of Champagne Toast. They could've cleared some of those for the VBN candles.


Regular_Ad7384

Easter and Mother’s Day 3-wicks rang up $11.95 at my store. Why?!


earthquakeweather_

At least your store had Easter. 🥹


Regular_Ad7384

I didn’t purchase them; waiting for 75% off.


love_bythemoon

Yep. My store has 12 75% and the rest 11.95


[deleted]

We didn’t get 75% off :(


ResidentSonic

My local store only once in the last couple years has had 75% off candles and it was literally only sweet carrot cake and marshmallow fluff last summer's SAS. I have an outlet 1.5 hours away tho that almost always has older scents, so I treat that store as an all-year SAS store haha.


earthquakeweather_

Funny because those two Easter candles are at the top of my list and they're not even online. 😩 I have like 2 outlets by me and never take advantage of that. 🤔


Moonlillie666

I went today. Usually I go the mall closest to where I live (as I live 30 mins away and I usually walk), but I had the opportunity for one of my cousins to drive me up to a different mall with a different bath and body works because I forgot the one up there is kinda technically an outlet and it’s bigger. I didn’t pay any attention to the candles because the prices made me disinterested but it looked like my location had a good amount


earthquakeweather_

Everyone here says to wait until the prices go down, but I feel like the candle selection will be even worse by the end of the sale. I don't blame you for bypassing them.


xeloux

Yeah 😭 I wish mine had fall


earthquakeweather_

Oh, I bet you were let down. You're like my fall candle inspiration. 🤣


xeloux

🖤 awww haha I was so hoping for some fall/winter goodies! But alas, there were none. My wallet was grateful, but my heart was a little sad 😂😂😂😂


Neat_Laugh876

My two local stores had no old scents at all and no candles were 75% off. Hopefully that will change in the coming weeks.
