Do you shop there? It's one of my absolute favorite stores, but I don't shop there too often. I can't really justify spending so much money on soap and body spray. I will normally visit the store every time I'm at the mall, but usually only make a purchase once or twice a year. I limit my purchases to things that are on sale, such as buy 2 get 1 free type specials. If I could afford to I'd probably buy up the whole store, but since my cash is limited I keep my purchases to under $50, and it's usually just shower gels and body sprays. I've tested some of their other products and found no real need for them. I also used to buy their lotions, but discovered it didn't help keep my skin moisturized and the scent didn't last long enough either. Do you like Bath and Body Works? What do you buy the most from that store? How much can you usually spend there, and how often do you shop there?

when I was visiting my daughter in NC last February we wnet to a bath & Body works. It was amazing as erverything was on sale. Masses of Christmas stuff under US$5 so I bought all my Christmas presents for this year whilst there! I was so happy and wished that I had maxed out my credit card there to buy for next year too as Rachel will be home by the end of next month. The sales were crazy and I bought so much. It made me very happy. Now I have to tell you that I haven't tried their stuff yet but it does smell wonderful and I am sure that my gifts will be appreciated this year. I'v already used some of it on Mother's day and a couple of Birthdays out here. I'm too frugal. should have bought ourt the store?

There was a time I was there and they had some nice stuff on sale 75% off. I knew I should have bought it, but I kept telling myself all the reasons why I didn't need it. Pfft!

I love bath and body works. My favorite lotions/perfume I used to buy there is no longer up for sale. Makes me sad! I love their products. I'm big in their lotions. I lve every scent! Every chance I get I try to go there. But hasn't been very often lately as I haven't seen much that I like. Bu tmaybe now that summer is approaching they'll have new products and it'll pursuay me to buy it =). Always gotta try new things!

I just went a couple weeks ago and got myself Midnight Pomegranite. I absolutely love it! I got it in spray and shower gel. I also bought a spray of some floral type scent, Butterfly Garden might have been the name of it. I don't know for sure, but it's very flowery.

Hello! I myself cant get enough of the store and have prob tested each scent. At first I try to get the smaller bottles and see if the scent is as good as it was in the store . If I like a scent I will usually try and save for a scent or have someone buy it as a gift for me . I usually go to the web site and buy the older types like plumeria and water blossom ivy! now i use moonlight now and sweet pea. they are light enough.

I love bath and body works. I usually just get my body spray and lotion there. You can fund much better deals on the body wash at a regular store. My two favorite scents right now are warm vanilla sugar and cucumber melon. There's a bunch of others that I like too. Thier lotions are really for scent rather then moisturizing. My favorite moisturizer is by Hemp and it is absolutely awesome. I usually only spend about 15 dollars when I go there, and that's only a few times a year. So, it's not too bad.

I love bath and bosy works. Honestly as far as lotion and body spray goes, it's as cheap as shopping at wal mart. My two favorite scents there are warm vanilla sugar and cucumber melon. Some things are more expensive and I don't always get everything I want there, but overall it's great product for the price.

They had a GIANT store wide clearance sale one year at the one near me and I just happened to be there to buy christmas gifts. It was like 75% off of tons of things. I got lots of perfumes and their $20 sugar scrubs were only $5!! I stocked up, it was about 2 or 3 years ago and I am just barely on my last jar of sugar scrub lol. I usually don't go in there if there isn't a sale, the smell of all the perfumes and people spraying stuff when you're standing right next to them in the small space, always makes me sneeze or get a headache. But I can brave it if there's a sale or something I really want.

I think I have only been in a bath and body work once or twice in my life. I'm not a big lotion person for one. And for two we never could afford to pay that much for that kind of stuff. I figure I would rather buy the cheap stuff at walmart and spend the money i saved on something else lol. Half the time most people probably couldn't tell the difference between expensive stuff and cheaper stuff.

I like bath and body works. It's on the expensive side so I only go there when there are sales as well...or of course when I get gift cards. I wish they have more sales more often.

I can honestly say this is one of my least favorite stores. I think really it is the smell, I find it very strong and overwhelming. I am like that with the Yankee Candle stores also. I am not a big perfume or body spray person because they all give me headaches. I have gotten something from there as gifts and do like the scent of some things but just can't seem to wear them. I can see why people like that store but it is not for me.

I love it! I can still remember the first ever body spray (Country Apple) I bought way back in college. When I was single, almost all of my toilet stuff were Bath and Body Works - hand soap, hand gel, cologne, lotion, etc. It's definitely not the same anymore, lol. When I'm in the States, I usually do take advantage of the sales when I can, but mostly for presents for female friends and relatives back home. :)

I love that store. I went their the other day. I got 3 lip glosses for a $10. I also got lotion that was on sale. It was a small bottle for $1. It was a promotional item. I always bargain shop. I really loved the lip gloss I got. I cherry, watermellon, and cotton candy. I think it was well worth every penny!

I use to manage one of their stores up North. If they still do it, January and June are their big discountinued item sales. You can get some real bargains during that time and sometimes it is worth the wait if you don't want to spend the big bucks. The last time I was in the store which was a few months ago, they have changed their logos again let alone alot of their fragrances. I ran one of their flagship stores which carried alot of third party brands such as Burt's Bees, Murad, Joey of NY. I know they were trying to really expand and of course did an online store which they use to say they would never do. Right! I make alot of my own bath products now and you can get alot of the fragrances on line that are so close to B&BW's to make your own, it's fabulous! Especially now with the bucks being so tight. It's fun to do and really relaxing too. Get on B&BW's email list if you aren't already. Great coupons!!

I love bath and body works!! I actually haven't shopped there as much in the past year as I usually do. Unless I have awesome coupons, I hate to spend too much money on lotions and the specialty hand soaps these days. What I'm really looking forward to is their semi annual sale, which will be coming up at the beginning of June!! I always find awesome deals during that time. They have some great new scents out too, a few of which I'd like to try.

Unfortunately, we don't have Bath & Body Works here, but I absolutely love its products. I buy tons each time I visit the United States. When friends go there too, I also ask them to buy me the sprays, lotions, and the shower gels. The lotions really feel good on my skin. It's a wonderful moisturizer and it does not feel greasy. Coconut Lime Verbena is my current favorite because it makes me feel as if I'm at the beach.
