One of the Best Weeks of the Year: the Semi Annual Sale!

I count down the days until the Bath and Body Works semi-annual sale starts. Ever since I was a pre-teen it was such an exciting event for me. Tell me I’m crazy but I really did get excited over it! My mom would look at me like a freak (she was never much of a shopper anyway) and everyone else was like “eh yeah, its a good sale.” My reaction? “A good sale?! Its an amazing event where we can stock up on our favorite things and save some for gifts and such. Its not just a sale.”

But just like with anything on sale you have to know what’s worth the buy and what’s not. I have a tendency to buy things because they’re on sale not because I like them or even need them. So after scouring the store for the past several days in a row here’s my list of things to skip and things to buy.

Hit or Miss

Miss- Seriously its only half off and its still $10. Unless you’re in desperate need of spa products its not that great of a deal.

Hit- This pretty little bottle is only $4 as opposed to $12. Stock up for yourself and in case you forget a birthday.

Miss- I love soap but this stuff is only half off and it really doesn’t last very long (especially with kids around).

Hit- These candles burn for a pretty long time. And they’re only $11 each. Move over Yankee Candle!

Miss- Unless you really love the scent these are just not the best buys. I think they’re like filler scents for the store, they take up space and occupy us until better things come out.

Hit- I love this stuff. I gave some to my boyfriend to help him with stress relief and it really worked! And its only $6 this week.

Comment below with what you’ve bought at the sale! Like and share with your friends!
