Bath & Body Works Semi-Annual Sale Shopping Tips
There are so many ways to save at the 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. Hold Out for June 10th or December 26th.
If you're a big fan of Bath & Body Works products, make plans to purchase the bulk of your goodies in the Summer, starting June 10th (for rewards members), or the Winter sale starts December 26th through the early January. 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 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!)
The summer sale usually starts the first week of June, and the winter sale starts right after Christmas.
2. Use Coupons with the Sale!
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)
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. Grab 3-Wick Candles for under $5??
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. Last year it was on Dec. 4th.
4. Snag 75% OFF Body Care Items.
Here's the 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!
5. Sign up for Emails and Texts!
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!
6. Pick up FREE Gift Wrap while shopping!
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.
*If you shop online, the gift wrap option costs an extra $5 ~ WOW!
7. Their Price Adjust & Exchange Policies are AMAZING!
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 candles or lotions that you aren't loving or a Wallflowers Plug that stopped working, you can exchange them for other scents or get merchandise credit – no receipt needed! Check out all the details HERE.
And one last practical tip…
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!

Discount code POOLBASH is not working on an order of $32 even tho they list it on their site. Disappointing for sure! Plus I can’t even pick up at my store so that’s $6.99 shipping. Uggh, hard pass.
Bummer! I just tried the code and it worked for me however, it still had the 6.99 shipping fee. We will keep out eyes our for more deals:)
Hi Ashley! If you ship to store, you can bypass the shipping fee! Hope that helps! 🙂
Hmm that’s strange Lisa as the code is still working for me. I wonder if you could chat with their online customer service and see if they’ll manually apply it for you?? So sorry it’s not available for store pickup near you!
So disappointed. 🙁 too frequently I click on the sales you list and they don’t exist any longer. Bath and Body is my favorite store and after selling our house I have stopped receiving coupons in the mail. I have updated my information on website as well. There is NO free shipping & I have $80 in my cart. Tried this on 6/14 & 6/15. Again, disappointed a sale you list doesn’t exist.
So sorry you weren’t able to get it working Linda! Sadly, the free shipping offer was only valid on 6/14 on orders of $50 or more ~ we’ll keep an eye out for more shipping deals, and hopefully it will work for you next time! (If you have a B&BW location nearby, you might be able to do free store pickup). Thanks for letting us know! (We understand it can be frustrating when deals expire quickly ~ we wish we had a way to know when prices are going to jump, or had a way to regulate them, but sadly we often don’t know until after an offer has ended. Thanks for your patience!).
Hey guys I need some good perfume recommendations I love sweet smells but I love the musky and fruit smells as well or sugary or bakery smells are good too my current obsession is fireside flurries toasted marshmallows , pink lavender and cashmere woods
I think you would love anything vanilla scented! I hope this helps!
