Shop the sale early — then go back for a price adjustment.
Bath & Body Works updated their price adjustment and return policies back in Sept. 2022. Their policy now states that both online and in-store purchases are eligible for a one-time price adjustment within 14 days of the original purchase. That means you can shop the week before the Semi-Annual Sale and return with your receipt to receive the difference credited back to your original form of payment.
And, yes, we confirmed that this works by getting our own price adjustment during the 2025 Semi-Annual Sale (watch our video):
But certain sales aren't eligible for price adjustments.
Certain sales aren't eligible for price adjustments, including flash sales, select promotions lasting 24 hours or less, Candle Day, and email offers. So you'll have to make a return with your receipt and then repurchase the item at the new, cheaper price.
If you buy online, you can't get a price adjustment in-store, and vice versa.
BathandBodyWorks.com is considered separate from your local store. Because of this, price adjustments don't work across party lines. Online purchases can receive an online price adjustment if you submit a contact form. In-store price adjustments require an original receipt.
KCL TIP: Keep the official Bath & Body Works return and price adjustment policy handy in case you run into any questions in the store.

Bath & Body Works Semi-Annual Sale 2025 FAQs
Is there Bath & Body Works clearance?
Technically, there's not a Bath & Body Works clearance sale. But if you're shopping the Semi-Annual Sale online, you could think of the last two days of the sale as a clearance of sorts. This is the retailer's last push to get everything off the shelves. If you're shopping in store, you'll see discounts get deeper, but you'll also see inventory disappear, which is why I recommend you don't wait to shop in store.
What day is the big candle sale at Bath & Body Works?
Candle Day falls in early December. In 2024, it took place Dec. 6 - 8. In 2023, Bath & Body Works Candle Day sale was Dec. 1 - 3. The sale always begins eight days after Thanksgiving, on a Friday.
How many times a year does Bath & Body Works have sales?
In addition to June and late-December when Bath & Body Works Semi-Annual sales take place, watch for Candle Day at the start of December and Body Care Day about a week after that. Those are the biggies. You'll also find Member Appreciation sales in May and August. Truly though, the two semiannual sales are the best of the year.
How long is the Bath & Body Works Semi-Annual Sale in 2025?
Expect the summer sale to last roughly one month (June). The winter sale usually runs for three weeks, spanning December and January.
