Bath & Body Works is one of my favorite places to buy gifts. Their items are practical but fun and everyone uses soap right? The problem is that Bath and Body Works is not inexpensive…that is — unless you play your cards right!
B&BW’s has 2 large month long sales a year. One in January and one in June.During these sales the Classic Collection is $5 a piece…which is over 1/2 off, but that is not even the best tip. They have $1 and $3 tables set up with fragrance lines they are no longer going to carry and when you combine those with FREE ITEM WITH ANY PURCHASE COUPONS you can bag a few great gifts!
Last year I was able to pick up tote bags for $2 a piece at Bath & Body Works Semi-Annual sale and fill them with free hand santizer, $1 hand lotion bottles and some free chocolate from CVS. For less then $5 I had really nice teacher gifts!
The coupons they issue are always different. I was able to get a free Scentport with ANY purchase before the holidays and I used them as hostess gifts and thank you gifts throuout the season. The coupons are not always with ANY purchase — sometimes there is a minimum — but they almost always have a sale going on so you can pick up quite a bit for about $10 if you shop smart.
The current Free With ANY Purchase coupon is for any lip product $12 or less and is good for 3 DAYS ONLY. I am not sure I would feel comfortable giving this to the boys teachers since I do not know if they wear lip products but I LOVE them for myself and they will make great stocking suffers for the lip product lovers in your life!
Give the store your email address when you pay and you will be emailed many great coupons all year long! I am excited to see what the Semi-Annual sale has this year. I am down to only hand soap and one Scentport in my gift closet.
