I just noticed that some of Bath and Body Works candles are now priced at $26. I won't be buying any at that price, they are not that special. If they aren't purchased, they will get the message(maybe).

With the frequent sales and coupons Bath and Body Works offers I don't have any complaints. They also have an unconditional return policy in place.

Their price increases over the last 3 years have been ridiculous. The 3-wick candles used to be $20, and whenever you made a purchase, they would give you a survey code on your receipt that would give you a $10 off $30 or more code. So, the candles would always go on sale for $10 and you'd get always have a $10 off $30 or more code, which would be an excellent deal. Now they act like 2 for $25 is a big deal, they stopped doing the surveys, and they more frequently have a coupon for 20% off rather than $10 off $30. While I love the throw and scents of their candles, they only burn for about 24 hours, so I've learned that Woodwick and Nest candles, while more expensive, are a better value because of burn time.

I agree that they keep raising their prices and this price is ridiculous but I only buy during sales. However, I too always would get them 2 for $20 and use a $10 off $30 coupon. Maybe last year they were 2 for $22. They also used to do a one day $8 sale but I always seemed to miss those and find out about them after the fact. I don't know anyone that would pay $26 for their candles.

Their candles have never been the same ever since Harry Slatkin left BBW.

I still have two of those survey receipts to use if you can believe that, LOL. I don't purchase much there any more and have moved toward using essential oils vs candles. When I do look for a candle, I usually go to TJMaxx or Home Goods.

It looks like the $26 candles are the ones with the more decor jars. The others are still the same price. It's probably a matter of time before they go up in price too.

I don't even shop at BBW anymore. I had bad experiences with their candles and the drowning wicks. And, I used to buy their holiday and seasonal luminaries. But they don't carry the really nice large ones anymore.
There were one or two fragrance items I liked, but they were discontinued. And, I don't use their lotions or soaps. Plus the only way you get a sale price is if you buy dozens of them at one time, lol.

@tucsongal- I can believe it. I still have some of the survey coupons left also!
