Here’s everything you need to know about the Bath & Body Semi-Annual Sale:
When Is The Bath & Body Works Semi-Annual Sale?
The best part about this sale is you get it TWICE a year – once in the summer and once in the winter. The Semi-Annual Sale is an opportunity for HUGE savings on your favorite soaps, lotions, and most importantly…candles!
- Winter Sale – Started December 26th and ends January 13th; however, In 2024, they extended it WELL through February to try to get all of their reduced and clearance items gone!
- Summer Sale – Typically begins on June 1 and runs through July – or while supplies last.
Remember, if you’re a new Rewards Member, you can get a $10 off $30 coupon for signing up!
What Discounts Can You Expect During the 2025 Sale?
You can snag just about everything at a discount during this sale period. It’s a great time to stock up on candles, body care, home care – even auto care items. The discount can vary, but many items you can find scents 75% off or more.
What Items are Included In The Bath & Body Works Sale?
Markdown Schedule:
Typically, there are tons of new markdowns each week of the event. However, the longer you wait, the slimmer the pickings seem to get.
Can You Use Coupons During The Semi-Annual Sale?
YES! Always keep an eye out for them in your mail. Many of our readers received a $10 OFF $40 Bath & Body Works Home Mailer Coupon last time this sale was running – and some have already received it this year too. It will even work on the sale items! If you’re not sure if you’re on the mailing list, you can request to be put on the list HERE!
As you can see from Bridgett’s receipt, you can absolutely stack the $10 off $40 coupon with the 75% OFF deals! 🙂
You can get a coupon for signing up for their rewards program or a home mailer, making it so much cheaper to get stocked up on your favorite scents for the ENTIRE year. Watch for your home mailer with a $10 off $40 coupon again this year, or check your email for an eCoupon. Plus, you can choose the free store pickup option where available; otherwise, shipping adds $6.99.
Is It Better To Shop Online or In Store?
This sale happens two times a year – usually right after Christmas and right in the middle of Summer – and lasts for around a month.
You can save $5.99 shipping if you shop in stores – and make sure to take all your coupons along (the selection may be a little better in stores too…but it totally depends)! OR, shop online and pick up your order at your local store for FREE!
Tips To Maximize Savings at the Sale
There are so many ways to save at Bath & Body Works (especially during the Semi-Annual sale!) – from taking along coupons to knowing where in the store to find the best sales. Here are some of the best tips I’ve learned!
1. Shop Early for Best Selection
Hold out until LATE December or EARLY June. If you’re a big fan of Bath & Body Works products, make plans to purchase the bulk of your goodies when the winter sale starts on December 26th or in the 1st week of Summer. That’s when these semi-annual sales always hit, and you can save the most!
You can get signature lotions, body wash, and body sprays for up to 75% OFF the regular price. If you’re able, go ahead and shop for the next six months. Having extra candles and lotions in your gift closet is a great way to stay on top of teacher gifts, birthdays, etc, while paying almost dollar-store prices!
For Example, in the past, Hand Soaps have been as low as $2.50 (regularly $7.50!)
2. Use Coupons and Join Rewards
Bath & Body Works Coupons come out all the time – and you can use them alongside sale events, including the Semi-Annual sale! Many of our readers received this coupon just before the last semi-annual event:
- $10 off $40 Coupon (check for mail flyers or an email)
Become a Bath & Body Works Rewards Member and get $10 off $30! – Sign up for the Loyalty Program online and receive your coupon within 72 hours (plus earn some fun perks on regular shopping throughout the year).
You can even stack coupons that come on the same flyer (usually 3)! For instance, a “Free Product with $10 Purchase” coupon could be used along with a “$10 off $40 purchase” coupon. Just check the coupon for any exclusions, so you know in advance.
If you’re not sure, ask one of the staff members or cashiers – they’re always super helpful!
3. Watch for 75% off Candles & Body Care
Guys – these quality candles burn evenly, burn long, and are highly fragrant. But they’re also NOT CHEAP. Normally, a Bath & Body Works 3-Wick Candle will set you back up to $24.50.
75% OFF CANDLES: SOME stores get in a selection of 3-Wick Candles for 75% OFF during the Semi-Annual Sale (that’s around $6-$8 each).
Keep in mind you can also get a good deal on candles at other times during the year. You can expect to pay as little as $7-$8 for a 3-wick candle at Bath & Body Works during the super rare Bath & Body Works Candle Day sale, which is a pretty sweet deal if you don’t find what you’re looking for during the Semi-Annual Sale.
Here’s a sneak peek of which Bath & Body Works body care items will be 75% OFF – making them as low as $3.95 each. Keep in mind, just like the candles, it will be rare to find many of these at your store, but there should be at least one or two bins of them!
4. Sign up for Texts, Emails & Mailers
Don’t miss out on offers they send to loyal customers! In the past, during the Semi-Annual Sale, I’ve received coupons via email, but also free shipping offers on Facebook that were specific just for me.
But wait! Bath & Body Works now offers FREE STORE PICKUP for online orders at participating stores! That means you can order all your favorite goodies online and not pay the hefty shipping prices (some exclusions apply). Go HERE to see if your store is participating.
You’ll want to sign up for their mailer coupons, emails, and texts to get extra coupons and special treats like those “FREE Product with Any Purchase” coupons. I love those – because you can buy a travel-size item (like in the pic above) or PocketBac and get a FREE Full-Size Signature product!
5. Ask for FREE Gift Wrap While In Store
Why buy bags & ribbons later? While you’re in there getting enough lotions to gift every lady in your life for the whole year – grab some gift wrap, on the house! You can pick up the really cute cellophane baggies with ribbon and tag, totally free. If you don’t see them on a display, just ask your cashier. They do vary from year to year as far as the style they have, but they always offer this service!
*If you shop online, the gift wrap option costs an extra $5 ~ WOW!
6. Understand Price Adjustments & Returns
If you accidentally bought something right before the sale – Bath & Body Works has a fabulous price adjustment policy. They’ll adjust to the lower price within 14 days of your purchase.
Plus, they guarantee everything they sell! So if you got a couple of candles or lotions that you don’t love or a Wallflower Plug that stopped working, you can exchange them for other scents or get merchandise credit – no receipt needed! Check out all the details HERE.
7. Don’t overspend – Shop Smart!
As always – if it isn’t in your budget, try not to let a good deal lure you into overspending. Buyer’s remorse is real – and I guarantee you many Bath & Body Works Semi-Annual shoppers have experienced it!
Just try to think practically about what you’ll *actually* use up in 6 months. (a bottle a month? maybe less?). And what you’ll actually use as gifts (do your kids’ teachers even like getting body care? Do your girlfriends use only certain scents?). These are some great questions to ask yourself!
Happy Shopping!
Do you have any great tips for shopping the Bath & Body Works Semi-Annual Sale? Or maybe just tips for shopping Bath & Body Works every day?
I’d love for you to share them in the comments!
I tried to use more than one coupon before Christmas and the manager had a fit! She was very rude, rolled her eyes and was whispering under her breath. I was very unhappy. I tried to find a way to express my feelings to corporate but couldn’t find a way. My advice ask first!
Oh no, so sorry to hear you had such a bad experience! It can be tricky to know exactly what sales and coupons can be used together~definitely always best to ask first if you aren’t sure. Thanks so much for the reminder! 🙂
I would love to receive sale coupon
