Sold out online.. Wow! I didn't realize they would completely sell out! I actually made my purchase at 11:30 last night and the sale wasn't supposed to be live until 12:01. Although, I did have to complete my payment on my ipad because for some reason it kept telling me there was a problem with my credit card on my computer.

Our store opened at 9, we were there at 9:30 and there were only 3 other customers. That’s my kind of shopping!

I bought 10 last night around 11:30pm EST. It was supposed to start at midnight but the sale started early. They had so many great new scents! I keep about 2/3 and give another 1/3 away for gifts.

Buuuut. I really wanted that stupid French Baquette candle. I just have to know what that smells like!! It’s already sold out online. I’ll run by one of the stores to see if they have it later. I bought two online last night. lol Intriguing right? That was definitely a two-purchae for me: one as a gift and one for me because I bet it smells delicious!!

I tried some of their other “realistic” candles this summer. The tabacco one and I can’t remember what the other was. They were awful. Did not smell anything like what they were supposed to. But I still want to try. I heard the stores here are mad houses so I’m not even going to try and go by.

So many were sold out online when I checked this morning. I've shopped this sale every year for ages in the local store... but I just got out of a week's stay at the hospital so my 3 teens have decided to do it for me this year! lol I can't wait to hear all about it when they get back! I'll live vicariously through them.

Total impulse purchase for me! Thanks elaine ! Bought 8 bc I think these will be nice gifts, and of course I need one for me! While I was checking out they were running out of scents that I had selected!! I will sit on my hands and be content with the ones I bought for me and still haven't burned yet. This adulting thing is harder some days than others. Candle-sale day is one such day. Please pray for my continued restraint.

I stopped into the store today to get a hand soap. The store was crazy. Now I know why! I decided to wait.

Our store was busy but no waiting!
I cannot believe that some stores were not allowing the 20% off—the BBW workers were encouraging its use and one worker stood right before the cashiers and was asking everyone in line if they had a coupon!
A girl in front of me let me snap hers, and the cashier had the code at the register.
We bought 13 candles in store and with tax, our total was $106

I'm hoping my husband will get four for me while he's running errands. I'm out of friend ideas. These seem like a safe choice.

At local mall. Line was not too bad. Maybe only 8!in front of me. Took 5 minutes to get into the store. And about 20 minutes for checkout line. Downloaded app while in line and immediately got the extra 20% off.

Managed to snag three of my beloved Cinnamon Pinecone. The store I went to wasn’t that busy, so I think I was in and out in ten minutes!

A girl in front of me let me snap hers, and the cashier had the code at the register. We bought 13 candles in store and with tax, our total was $106 I caved to Elaine's thoughtful enabling (thank you!) and popped into my local store this afternoon. It was busy, but they still had plenty left. I bought 4 (I have a ton already and this gorgeous Xmas plaque for the bargain price of $27. Ive never seen them sell those before but it has Charlie Brown's "its not what's under the tree that matters, its who's gathered around it" on it. The spiced apple toddy smell is A-MAZING! My cashier actually helped me save far more than I thought I would too, by allowing me to use two of my coupons on my purchase. I had a $15 off $40 and one gift one that bought my order down quite a bit more. Now I just want to get the polar bear candle pedestal from their site and the fairy light wallflower holder. Thoughtfully, they gave me ANOTHER new lot of coupons when I paid for this one LOL.

There’s a fair amount already sold out online I always buy other scents and then exchange in the store.

I just did a huge purchase last week of 12 candles when they were half off plus I had the 20% off whole purchase. So I was going to resist buying anything this sale. Buuuut. I really wanted that stupid French Baquette candle. I just have to know what that smells like!! It’s already sold out online. I’ll run by one of the stores to see if they have it later. I was looking for the French Baguette candle as well, but didn't have luck. It has great reviews. Hopefully they will bring it back!

I stopped by B&BW when I was at the mall for other shopping on Saturday. I didn't even know about the candle sale - I was going in to get more wallflower scents since I was out of them and they were on sale. The store was a mob scene - it pretty much looked the same as the picture that StephDRebel posted. So of course I ended up getting 4 candles, lots of good scents were still available in store. Some are for gifts and others for keeps.
