The Bath & Body Works Semi-Annual Sale is one of the biggest sales of the year!
The 2026 event is shaping up to be no different. Twice a year, shoppers get rare markdowns on everything from hand soap and body care to candles and Aromatherapy essentials. It’s one of the few times you’ll see deep Bath & Body Works discounts across everyday favorites and seasonal scents. If you want to plan ahead, here’s what you should know based on Bath & Body Works’ consistent sale patterns.
Bath & Body Works hosts its Semi-Annual Sale twice a year, once in June and once in December. The next savings event is expected to take place in the first few weeks of June 2026.
Mark your calendars! The next Bath & Body Works Semi-Annual Sale will take place in June 2026.
The sale runs for three to four weeks, stretching into July. Deals evolve throughout the event as new clearance items appear and discounts deepen, so shoppers benefit from checking back a few times during the sale.
Shoppers can find up to 75% off select items, including body care, soaps, seasonal scents, and home fragrance. Actual prices vary by store and availability, but this is consistently one of the biggest markdown periods of the year.
Yes, 3-wick and single-wick candles are included at different markdown levels. Summer fragrances sell out quickly, but customers can find impressive discounts on:
While candle prices can vary from year to year, the Semi-Annual Sale is one of the greatest times outside Candle Day to grab discounted favorites!
Bath & Body Works clears out a huge portion of its seasonal and retiring inventory, so shoppers usually find markdowns across almost every major category. Body care is often discounted the deepest, with shower gels, lotions, body creams, and fragrance mists dropping significantly in price. In past sales, items like shower gel and body cream have fallen to around $3–$6, and select fragrance mists have landed in the $5–$7 range. Hand soaps are another popular pick, especially leftover seasonal scents, which have historically dropped to about $2–$3 per bottle. Home fragrance items also see strong clearance pricing, including Wallflower refills for around $2–$3 and select Plugs that have previously fallen to roughly $4–$6.
Candles and seasonal items round out the biggest sale categories. While candle inventory varies by store, shoppers have seen select 3-wick candles drop into the $9–$13 range and single-wick candles fall near $5–$7. Holiday gift sets, minis, accessories, and leftover winter decor also tend to hit some of their lowest prices of the year. Because Bath & Body Works adjusts discounts as inventory sells out, checking early in the sale and again during the final markdowns will maximize your savings.
Here’s an example of the sale prices you’ll see in-store:
“If the $10 off $30 coupon is available, use it on top of the Semi-Annual Sale prices. You can get an additional 33% off your purchase if you spend $30. Keep in mind that the more you spend, the smaller the percentage discount will be,” says Diane Lourmas, veteran savings analyst at CouponCabin.
The Semi-Annual Sale takes place both in-store and online, though the deals can differ between the two. That said, shoppers will find better savings when they shop in-store. Because Bath & Body Works only allows one coupon per purchase, if you’re shopping online, you’ll have to choose between a discount and free shipping. But if you’re shopping in-store, you’ll already avoid the cost of shipping, allowing you to get an extra discount.
Free shipping offers are not guaranteed, but Bath & Body Works releases promotions like free shipping with a minimum purchase or limited-time shipping deals. Watching for email or app notifications during the sale is the easiest way to find out. However, shoppers can only use one coupon per order, so if there are other coupons available, you’ll have to choose the one with the highest value.
Bath & Body Works allows shoppers to apply a valid coupon on top of sale prices, though only one coupon can be used on a single purchase. Popular offers include:
Yes, Wallflower Plugs and fragrance refills are included in the event. These items tend to see markdowns as the store clears out remaining fragrances.
Aromatherapy items are commonly included in the Semi-Annual Sale, and this event often brings the greatest markdowns on these products all year. Shoppers see significant savings on lotions, creams, body wash, and essential-oil blends.
Hand soaps are marked down during the Semi-Annual Sale. As mentioned, the sale historically brings some of the lowest prices of the year, from $7.95 to $2.50.
No, Bath & Body Works does not have an official policy of accepting expired coupons. The store no longer offers a 3-day grace period for coupons.
Shopping early offers the largest selection, especially for fragrances that sell out fast.
“Because so many items sell out, you shouldn't wait for a 75% markdown. Shop early to get 50% off, and then see if you can make a price adjustment. The store will honor a lower price within 14 days, and the policy is available once per shopper," says Lia Berman, savings analyst at CouponCabin.
After the June 2026 event, the next Semi-Annual Sale will take place in December 2026, following the brand’s twice-a-year schedule. The sale usually begins the day after Christmas on December 26.
