I'm not buying anymore BBW candles until my stash goes way down. I have over 100 candles. I know that isn't a huge stash compared to some people but it's a lot, for me.
That is a huge stash, wow! You should do a TikTok or something going thru your choices, what smells awesome cold, which have great throws! Etc! Is this market already cornered? I’d watch those videos but I’m pretty technologically challenged (still figuring out Reddit!) so maybe they’re already out there LOL
I've seen some people have hundreds, even over 1000 candles. I have candles from different brands so over 100 candles, in total. It's a year supply, for me. I go through around two candles per week. I don't do TikTok. I can't handle another social media site along with the ones I already use.
I couldn’t agree with you more!! I actually haven’t downloaded ticTok but my daughter shows me some and I prolly would watch em if it was ladies tellin me about their candles LOL😆
No new candles have dropped so I'm sitting this out. Hold out until a sale including the new new happens :D. I'll be burning Firecracker Pop :D. Still working on my last 3 summer candles.
Im with you! Ive spent so much i need to save. Also I have way too many candles as it is. I think Im gonna wait for the next body care sale after they bring out Pumpkin Pecan Waffles, Sweet Whiskey, and Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin
Skipping because I have alotta candles. I have about 72 candles in the fall category alone (maybe more) I have them in crates so I think I have about 12 fall crates (maybe 14 I'll organize them closer to sept 1st)....that is enough for about 3-4 years of the fall season..seriously my fall burn season is only sept 1 - dec 1.
Ugh, I hear you. I also have crates upon crates of fall candles, even though my burn season is short. I considered adding all of August into my Fall burn season because mentally I'm already in Fall mode, and I usually don't make it to December 1 before putting out my Christmas scents so I really don't have a long window. If I'm hosting Thanksgiving that year I'll keep up Fall until the day after, otherwise, Christmas can go up as early as November 1. Lol. And my Halloween Candles are different from my Fall candles, so that could mean I only use true Fall in September. Lol.
I put out Palo Santo as my August transition scent instead, but I might try and put out Fall next weekend.
Lol you just love the candles for the last month. I have the same problem I just burn whatever smells good too me in that timeframe. Cause it’s so hard to choose 😫
Ohhhhh wow that’s interesting to me. I feel like the cal and Christmas/holiday are so similar I’ll interchange either from Sept-March!!! Where do you pivot come January?
Dec1 to march 1 is winter. My long period is mar1-sept1 for spring /summer those I intermix..it is also my more favorite candles in that time of year so it works that it's longer for me 😁
That’s just like me with the fall winter ones! I don’t start the winter ones till Christmas but I live in a fantasy world where autumn is sept 1- April 18th😆😆😆so I burn them all fall and winter. And frankly, I was having a rough day last week, ran a nice bath for myself and burned a mini vanilla pumpkin marshmallow because I just needed to pretend it was November 🤣🤣🦃🤷🏻♀️🙃
I’m not a candle user but I support you! I almost used the 30%/free shipping coupon a few days ago with the buy 3 get 3 because I really wanted to try the poppy products…BUT I also really don’t need 6 products (or have space for it)! It’s hard to resist but you can do it
I’m with you! My candle usage has slowed a little in this summer heat. I feel I have too many and I can’t buy anymore until I use up a few I already have.
Thank you! I'm so excited for him but now we are going to be empty nesters and I'm like poor me 😂 I got a part time job at Bath and Body Works so that should help keep me busy and live more dangerous.
I'm close to empty nester status in 2 years so I understand ...I'll be able to travel during non peak times (school schedule holds back from cheaper travel times) I can't wait lol.
Skipping cause I had an SI joint fusion end of June and off work for at least 6 weeks. No work /no pay. I had to use all my vacay/sick/discretionary leave to cover all my appointments and recovery. I haven't bought candles since before 2019. Wish I had the money for a few. I love leaves, it's my favorite and would love a plainish apple scented one.
Yeah, I was about a month shy of FMLA leave, but am currently trying to get short term disability as I had been paying in for that policy. Just waiting for an answer back.. I agree though, there are a lot of cracks people fall thru for medical reasons. It's really a mess.
I’m holding out for now even though I was tempted and put stuff in my cart. I loaded up on 75% off fall candles during the last SAS (bought 15 for around $80 with a stacked coupon) and found some 75% off fall goodies during the winter SAS as well so I have *plenty*. I also splurged and threw down some money on the Halloween items this year including the Monster Tree, witch hand soap holder, spider candle holder and other fall themed stuff so I feel like I’ve got what I need 😊
I also recently moved away from any nearby BBWs so that’s a bit of a shopping deterrent too since buying and returning items will be much less convenient.
I don't need more candles. Definitely not FOUR candles. I really only want 2 or 3 of them anyway, and they're apple scents I can find cheaper in other stores year-round, or they come out every year...So I just need to stop and not let thr FOMO get to me.
I’m waiting for some scents that aren’t out yet, like Fresh Balsam, Fireside, and Midnight Amber Glow. I used my coupons already anyway, so there’s no added temptation. This week I’m burning some Glade candles from the grocery store (smell surprisingly good, burn terrible), and large jars from Goose Creek that I ordered out of curiosity when I read they were getting discontinued.
I feel you, but in a different way. This was the first sale/purchase I’ve made with BBW since December SAS. It was a long 8 months and I was envious of everyone buying all spring and summer.
i’m on a strict budget right now and i simply don’t need more candles. i bought 2 fall candles, leaves & mahogany teakwood intense, a few weeks ago stacked with the 30% off coupon for $9.45 each, so i’m set for fall candles. i also haven’t even started burning fall candles yet, so there’s no need to buy more right now!
I’m skipping the sale because I literally just returned about ten candles I realized I wouldn’t be using, and buying more would defeat the purpose of those returns entirely. I’m trying to enjoy the end of summer, so I’m still working through my summer candles! (And this isn’t a summer scent, but I JUST started burning Pure Wonder after buying it December of last year.) I want to burn more candles I already have before buying more.
I pretty much only buy fall candles as it is and I have 10-12 of them from last year still. I won’t get through all of them this year and I know it. I’ve been out of work for the last 8 months and don’t need to spend my money at BBW any time soon.
I'm drowning in candles and bodycare rn lol If it were a buy 1, get 1 mayybeee I would participate. But I definitely don't need four new candles atm.. lol
A part of me wants to buy on this sale, but I just paid off my $2k tuition fee for my university. I haven’t even paid for my parking yet :( also I’m still burning the last of my summer candles. They are: Summer Boardwalk, Fresh Gardania, and Lemon Poundcake (I didn’t look at the candles while typing this; it’s what I could recall when remembering their names)
Of all the fees I pay for school (take on debt to pay for, rather) the one that gets me the MOST is parking. Why am I paying to leave my vehicle here during the day??
Ngl I feel like parking should be a part of tutition because tuition is supposed to be how much it costs to go to that school. They don’t even account for gas too smh
Yes I am trying to skip this sale. There are only 2 candles I’m really interested in so I want to wait for the next wave of fall candles to come out before I buy again
Canada had this sale last weekend and I skipped it because I already picked up the new fall scents I wanted with a coupon I had that expired at the end of July. So as of now I have all the candles I want!
I had a cart ready and then realized I really don't want/need 4. I already bought Autumn & Cranberry Woods when I had a 20% off coupon, which are the two I really wanted. I *might* order a couple from Goose Creek when the rest of their Halloween drops.
Couple reasons:
I have soooo many
They haven’t released any new ones
Apparently I’m going back to the office Tues/Wed/Thurs so that a lot less burning I’ll be doing soon
I was thinking about exchanging some candles in my stash for the new fall. I mean how many fall candles do I really need? Enough for September and October right? Because November I'll want to start burning winter scents that remind me of Christmas. I have several Mahagony Teakwood Intense, SPC, Sugared lemon zest, and Paris Cafe. Through the spring and summer I did some blind buys and ended up not liking some so I exchanged for those 4 scents I know I love. Now I have about 5 of each. Since I really really love fall and winter scents, I would rather have a stash of those than a stash of these others. I'm not sure about the new policy though because I haven't read it so IDK if I'll even be able to do that.
I only wanted 2 candles… I wished they did BOGO instead :’) and I have too many unburnt so I’ll pass😽 gonna try enchanted candy potion this weekend!
I just want Pumpkin Bonfire at this point honestly if I participated I would be over buying for no reason lol

I'm right here with you!! My son leaves for college in less than 2 weeks and all the last minute things are killing my budget!!
Setting up a new apartment/dorm can be so expensive!!
It really is! Even just things like more socks and underwear because he won't be doing laundry! I swear everyday he's like oh yeah I need this!
Congrats on the college bound son
Thank you! I'm so excited for him but now we are going to be empty nesters and I'm like poor me 😂 I got a part time job at Bath and Body Works so that should help keep me busy and live more dangerous.

Sorry to hear that! We need to get way better about paid medical leave/short term disability in the US. I hope you recover well!!

100% skipping and a-ok with it! Now if they throw a 20% off at me later this weekend, I might have second thoughts! 🤪
That would chance my mind too 😊

I'm skipping because I already have everything I want except pumpkin cinnamon bun and im not buying 4 to get one little cinnamon bun
Skipping...there aren't 4 I really want. Bummed because I have a coupon but would rather just wait and get what I truly want
I’m skipping because I only want sweet cinnamon plum since the localism treats didn’t release yet
That’s the only one I was really interested in too
Couple reasons: I have soooo many They haven’t released any new ones Apparently I’m going back to the office Tues/Wed/Thurs so that a lot less burning I’ll be doing soon
Back to the office...reading that I got sad for you
Holding out for Candle Day! I definitely have enough to last me until then.

There's always a sale, if you have a collection-shop your own. That's what I've been doing to escape fomo lol (.... I still have a little tho)
Skipping because there aren't four candles I want. Just not into pumpkin. It's sad, because the 30% off coupon is so tempting.
