Bath & Body Works' Back-to-School Sale's 13 Days of Deals, Explained

We are pretty damn diligent in our efforts to keep up with Bath & Body Works sales. For example, we keep track of when each one starts and ends. Plus, we can tell you which have the best offers on what. But last year, in 2023 the retailer surprised us with a Bath & Body Works Back-to-School sale, including 13 days of deals. BBW literally came out with a bang, kicking the sale off on July 11 with 40% off site-wide. Now that doesn't get you Candle Day prices on 3-wicks, but it still brings most candles down to $14.95, which is something.

The deals changed each day, covering everything from candles to hand sanitizer.
