How I Saved $90 on a Year's Worth of Bath & Body Works Soaps

I can’t be the only one who’s gained a new appreciation for hand soaps that don’t make my hands dry out and crack more than Death Valley. In 2020, I quickly found my way to Bath & Body Works hand soaps, but I grimaced at that price tag: $7.50 for hand soap? Nuh-uh.

I’m not about that. Fortunately, here at Krazy Coupon Lady, we sift through dozens of Bath & Body Works deals on a weekly basis, and what we’ve seen tells us there’s never a reason to spend more than $3.95 on Bath & Body Works hand soap.

And I know a hack to spend only $1.88 a piece on Bath & Body Works hand soap. Read on to see how it’s done.

1. Sign up for Bath & Body Works loyalty program and receive a “$10 off $30” reward.

The dollar-discount coupons are key, because they’re stackable with the best sales Bath & Body Works offers. An easy way to get them is through the B&BW loyalty program, which you can sign up for here.

The B&BW program was formerly only available to select states but has recently expanded nationwide. When you sign up for this free rewards program you will automatically score a $10 off $30 purchase coupon.

Plus, you can earn points with every purchase and when you accumulate 1,000 points you will be able to redeem for a free product (up to $16.50) of your choice. You will also have access to member-exclusive special events, products and more, and you’ll receive an annual birthday gift. Sounds like a no-brainer to join!

2. Find hand soap for $2.50 during Bath & Body Works’ Semi-Annual Winter Sale.

The Semi-Annual Winter Sale is a clearance sale, so it’s not that surprising that it boasts the best price on Bath & Body Works hand soaps. During this sale, soaps tend drop down to just $2.50 each or less.

Here’s how soap is discounted at other Bath & Body Works sales:

• March – April: Expect a weeks-long sale featuring 6-for-$18 hand soaps.
• June: Bath & Body Works’ Semi-Annual Spring Sale discounts hand soaps to $3.75.
• October: We’ve received email promo codes that bring hand soaps down to $3.50.

The point is, if you can wait for the Semi-Annual Winter sale, you’ll be rewarded with the most valuable savings on hand soap, and you can stock up for the rest of the year.

 

3. Buy 12 hand soaps for $30 and apply your $10-off coupon.

12 hand soaps brought me to exactly $30. I live with one other person, so for me this was enough soap to last about one year.

My final price was $20 — nearly 80% cheaper than if I had bought these soaps at full price!

Buy 12 Select Hand Soap (Reg. $7.50) $2.50-$3.00, clearance price
Use store coupon or unique code for $10 off purchases of $30+
Shop in stores or $5.99 flat-rate shipping on orders of $10+
Final Price: as low as $1.66 each, when you buy 12
Compare to full-price for $90

 

4. Or take advantage of the Black Friday Buy 3 Get 3 free hand soap sale.

The most important part of this is that you buy in bulk and stack purchases with a dollar-discount coupon, which you can receive from the loyalty program or from B&BW mailers.

5. But you’ll have to shop BathandBodyWorks.com if you want to find retired hand soap fragrances.

The Bath & Body Works customer service reps I spoke with on the phone told me that stores typically don’t exclude soaps from these sales.

That said, physical stores won’t be carrying retired hand soap fragrances, so if you want to buy an old favorite, you’ll need to do your soap shopping at BathandBodyWorks.com.

The best part is, after doing this once, I’m in a much better position to wait for the absolute best time to buy the next time I need hand soaps.
