Thanks to the peas I now know this is a thing. 3 wick candles are $9.95 each there's a queue to get into the site. I ordered 3, hopefully I like them. I'm not a huge fan of winter scents, I much prefer summer scents but I refuse to pay BBW's normal price. Anyone else going to get some candles?

Yes! I have gone the past 2 years and plan to get up early tomorrow to go to my local BBW store. Last year they opened at 6 AM and I'm assuming that they're opening early again this year. Do you know that their candles are exchangable? You can buy whatever fragrance is available and exchange it for a different fragrance. You may want to exchange some of your winter fragrances for the spring/summer ones you prefer. I'm off to bed now so I can get up before the sun tomorrow.  |

Last time I went to exchange fall for summer scents they said without a receipt I would need to pay the difference. So I didn't exchange. |

Just for chuckles I went to their website. An hour wait to get to look at a website? No thanks.

I went on the app last night for "special members only early sale" and ended up getting 10 candles so I'm set for a while!

Interesting I have never done this sale with the waiting list. My time is three hours from now. I may or may not shop but have a place in line.

I just clicked on the line, waited for about seven minutes, and was able to get all of the candles I wanted. Easy-peasy!

AE released an image of her monthly kit and Jeremy rolled his eyes when I tried to talk to him about it. I had to come talk to my scrappy friends who *get* me. I was glad to see the candle sale reminder. What on Earth do people do without the peas? I would never have known otherwise. |

I did not know that, thanks so much for the tip! I'll be sure to keep the receipt in case I don't care for the scents when they get here. It took me an hour to get access which was annoying but in the past the website has crashed and there's been a lot of problems. So I just put my info in to email me when it was my turn. Worked out pretty simple. |

Oops it was eastern time lol. So I missed my window. Back in line. I assumed it knew I was in pacific time. My mistake. No big deal. But I guess I will be shopping in a few. I need to actually read but was in my way for curbside pickup at Walmart at the time anyways.

OK thanks to this thread I just ordered 7 candles. I so don’t need more but … lol. This place enabled me yet again. I don’t have many winter scents so this isn’t all bad though.

Y'all enablers!!
Actually, it is the Peas and DS, LOL.
DS got me hooked on BBW last year after a friend got him hooked.
Last week we spent an hour and a half in the store taking advantage of the buy 3 get 3 sale. We spent so much time smelling all the different scents and making notes of our favorites. Did not buy any 3 wick because of candle day also wasn't that much of a deal for those.
When I saw this post this morning I immediately sent him a text about it being candle day and I jumped in the queue and only had to wait 3 minutes!
I got both DS and DD a candle for Christmas and also got a couple others for DS that he paid for and I bought a couple for myself and a couple for the house, LOL.
I think 9 3 wick candles will get us all through until next year!

If you can, go in store!!! There's a $10 off coupon in your Rewards Wallet and it STACKS with the sale 😊 ALSO - Kroger has a $50 B&BW egift card with a $7.50 bonus that you can definitely use for this sale! Speaking of Kroger, they'll have their candles at $6 tomorrow ONLY - Yankee Candle and Goose Creek are ALSO having Candle Day sales! Happy Shopping everyone!

Well apparently if you wait awhile there's still plenty of candles to choose from. |

Last time I went to exchange fall for summer scents they said without a receipt I would need to pay the difference. So I didn't exchange. Interesting. When I was in the store to feed my addiction on Friday I noticed that there was a sign posted that their return policy had changed this fall. I need to check into it to see what it is. |

I went in person and it was so organized and didn’t take as long as I thought it would.
They gave out super cute reusable totes that had candle holders in the bottom.
You stood in line outside the store and they handed you your tote when it was your turn to go in, then you shopped from the front of the store to the line to check out, then you handed the cashier your tote, they put the candles back in your tote (saved them from having to wrap anything), and you got to keep the tote for free.

How long does it normally take for them to ship? I’m not in a huge hurry and know it’s going to be a while but curious. I have only ordered once before and it was a long time ago.

Candle day often takes a bit extra - I'll keep my eyes on reader's comments and let you know. They usually post if there are issues - I work for a deal website 😊 |
