    All I want for Christmas is a Bath & Body works coupon…

    • Kayla

      Me too!

  2. TK

    Darn, live 45 minutes from Raleigh and we are usually considered the Raleigh-Durham Triangle area for most promos with other companies but not this one.

    • stephanie

      Thanks for the heads up TK! I am about midway between Raleigh and Charlotte and was wondering how this would work.

    • riss

      I got the app when they first started. I guess it depends on the size of the city. I’m 1 1/2 hour from Los Angeles and still included in their area.

      • Pam

        You can only use 1 code with an online order. If you use CANDLEDAY to get the candles for 8.95, you can’t use any other coupons/discounts.

  3. Lily

    Is there a promo code to enter online? Or does it adjust automatically?

    • Amber (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      Hi there! You will need to download the app (if available in your area), and turn on push notifications so you know when and how to start shopping the sale. Hope that helps!

      • Lily

        I understand but I do not have access to the app here.

  4. Jamie

    Anyone know when the sale in the store starts?

  5. A

    Is the rewards program only available in certain places?

    • Amber (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      Yes, It appears their new rewards program is available in the app, which is currently only for those in the Charlotte, Raleigh-Durham, Chicago, and Los Angeles areas. Hope that helps!

  6. Doreen

      What coupons are you looking for?

      • Pauline

        Looking for Target 20% off or the Target $10 off $50 coupon but open to other coupons or Shutterfly ornament codes from lifetouch etc. Pls email me on what coupons you have. Thanks!

        • Raquel

          oh and I have a shutterfly ornament lifetouch code as well

  8. Amanda

    I’m in Houston and was able to download app. $10 off $30 and free item from my birthday last week. My closest store opens early at 7 tomorrow!

    • alicia

      I went into the store today to ask what time they would be opening tomorrow with the sale and they acted like they didn’t know anything about it. (which you know is a lie)

    • Sarah

      I called here in Ohio and they said corporate said it’s normal hours?? 10am

      • Denise

        I was out in mayfield heights area they said 6am opening time

  9. missy

    i normally don’t pay for shipping but this time I will. I went last year and it was a mad house. I’m excited this will be available early in my city….YIPPEE, just sent my alarm on my phone to remember. Thank you for posting

  10. Mimi

    I got the app a couple months ago. When I did I got a noticable increase in mail in coupons. So if you do sign up make sure to put in your full address!

    • Jamie

      Interesting. I downloaded the app and I haven’t had a coupon in about 6 months. I’ve received the mailed coupons for candle day religiously every year, and nothing this year.

  11. Sharon

    Since there will be an online code to get the $8.95 price, does that mean we can’t use any other coupons?

    • AM

      That’s my question, too! I downloaded the app and saw the message about it starting at 10pm. But if it’s a code, I would think that would preclude any other code/coupon, and I was planning to use a 20% off coupon I received with my last shipped order.

  12. Alicia

    I really hate shopping on their website. Out of a large group of retailers, they have the worst shipping and coupon policy.

    • Jamie

      Agreed!

    • Kayla

      I agree!

    • tara

      If everyone wrote customer service and told them that–maybe they would change it. I sent them a letter tonight about it. …..especially since I’m an hour away and it sucks for those of us who are disabled and struggle to get to the store to begin with.

  13. Len

    Question: Just curious what’s everyone’s price point on Bath&Bodyworks body cream? There is $5 promo for body cream for today only. Debating if I’ll go and grab the sale or wait. Thanks for your help. ❤️hip2save

    The fresh balsam candle from Aldi for $3.99 is amazing. No lines, standing in line at 6 AM, coupons, apps, or shoving for a candle lol. I love deals and candles but all these candle enthusiasts are cracking me up 😂 I love you H2Sers

    • Lora

      I am with you Sara.

    • Brittany

      I’m convinced those aldi candles are bath and body works with a different label. They are exactly the same! Love the fresh balsam too!

      • Nikki

        What size are their candles and price?

      • Adriaddiemom

        I agree too! I LOVE the Aldi (Huntington House or something like that) candles. They are fantastic quality. Bought a ton of Leaves last month.

    • Crystal

      I have always gone in the past but this year decided to skip. They often go on sale for $12.95 and I did the math — using coupons, I would spend about $10 more when it’s $12.95 if I bought my usual 5 (so I can use the $15 off $40 coupon I have). I would rather spend $10 than spend the time in the store with the craziness today.

  16. Allison

    If you go to the website and click on store locator it will show the time each store opens on candle day (tomorrow).

    • Libby

      Thank you!

    • Kayla

      Thank you! Maybe this isn’t a dumb question, but the website says they’ll open at 7 but the mall technically doesn’t open until 10. Do you think the outside doors to the mall will be open at 7?

      • Mari

        Prolly, there are always mall walkers plus workers have to get in

  17. Julia

    Just got a text for a $10 off $30 coupon code!! Woohoo!

  18. Apryl

    Not in our area – darn! But signed up for email when it is…

  19. PrincessMom

    I’m on their email list and paper mail list and still never get any of these deals I keep seeing on here. I swear, they’ve got a list of, “Don’t bother sending her stuff because she’s cheap” that I’m on somewhere!

    I got one set of coupons in the mail this year and that was it. 🙁

  20. Araceli

    Hi, I have a 5 off 20, 10 of 30 or 15 off 40 online coupon code if anyone is interested. Let me know what you have for trade. Please no shutterfly codes.

  21. Bethany

    Are the 20% coupons one use only? I used mine on the hand soaps the other day. Can I use the same coupon (I showed it on my phone) tomorrow? My store in Toledo, OH is open at 5 am tomorrow!

  22. Nikki

    Online……
    You must enter a coupon code to get the candle sale price. Therefore no additional coupons can be used, like 20 percent off entire purchase, etc…(anything that requires an additional coupon code since your only allowed 1 coupon code per transaction).

    In stores…….
    You can purchase candles on sale without a coupon code and you can also use coupons so you can save even more. $8.95 PLUS 20 percent off entire purchase, etc….

    That’s how it normally works, unless something has changed. Many many customers have complained you shouldn’t have to use a coupon code online to get the sales price and hopefully one day they will listen to their customers. You’ll need to determine if paying the $5.99 shipping and not saving any additional discount is worth not fighting the crowds.

    • Brittany

      Ugh that stinks. We are even having to pay shipping so I don’t know why it would be any different to use a coupon code.

    • Tami

      Which is precisely why I am not buying online or waiting in line at the store. If you can use coupons in store & get the sale it should apply online as well. Yankee is buy 1 get 2 free so they are getting my business.

  23. Ellie

    If you buy the candles on line , can you take your invoice to the store and ask for the cellophane so you can wrap it for Xmas gifts ?

  24. missy

    Sale is live online. I just made my purchase. Hate paying shipping but the crowd is worse

  25. Lindsey

    I was able to register using a zip code in one of those cities on the app. Just purchased my candles!

    • Lindsey

      And I don’t live there. No verification needed

  26. I❤Cats

    Don’t they usually give you another $10 off $30 coupon after your purchase?? I only received ONE coupon, but hoping to score more candles. Anyone recall??

  27. Nikki

    I went to the store and they gave me another coupon but it obviously can’t be used yet and I don’t remember the date and not home to look. Sorry…

    I purchased my 15 limit and got them for only $6.95 each!!!!

    I had 2 – $15 off $40 coupons

    I was first to check out so no line for me. Definitely worth going to the store since I couldn’t use those online.
