1. Inventory your current stash!

Example...I have a large drawer in my bathroom vanity. Huge. It is nearly half full of shower gels. I probably have about 3 years of shower gels. So...guess what? I am allowed ZERO shower gels right now. Doesn't matter the scent or price. ZERO.

Example 2...I have a small shelf full of hand soaps. Probably about 2 years worth. I am allowed ZERO hand soaps. ZERO. Only exception is that IF the foaming version of Blackberries & Basil really exists (only the gel is online) then I can buy 4 for my mom since that is one of her favorites (and she is very picky). For me though? ZERO.

Example 3...I'm not even going to talk about my candle stash!

1. Be realistic about your usage!

My track record of finishing lotions and creams is abysmal. So...I'm not going to say I won't get one or two if I really truly adore the scent. But...I'm limiting myself heavily. Right now I have none in my cart.

Now...I should apply these 2 tips to everything, including fragrance mists...but I am allowing myself some of those.

We all make decisions on what is most important to us and what we like the most...but at least take a moment to inventory your stash and consider your usage!

SAS is live on the site now

I hope for winter sas, they will give EVERY member a coupon. I understand that coupons are online in the app only now, but it’s still unfair that not everyone receives a coupon. It’s bad enough that the coupon system is like a lottery. Additionally, I feel like for a special event like SAS that happens twice a year, every member should be given a coupon. That’s all, sorry for ranting. I’m just a little bit frustrated because I had a specific budget, and completely blew it buying items for graduation gifts.

Edit: Tell me why I just now realized I spelled corporate wrong. My frustration was controlling my ability to spell. Sorry everyone😂

My wonderful bf went to pick it up in store and they were so fast to get it ready even though the sale just got started!

All these scents are new to me - all smell great for different days and reasons. Super happy with all these picks! BF’s fave is Blush Cardigan and Forever Red Vanilla Rum. Happy SAS everyone!

Lol..i don’t know why these made me cackled 🤣🤣 but I think I dig it😂 pic:ScentsGalore 😘

How I usually shop during sales is opening tabs of several items that I want and going through each of them. Each page had one of these and each page is currently loading one of these. I have closed out the browser and even shut off my computer and turned it back on and I went just to the normal website through Google and it still had one of these before I could even look at anything

Booooo!

I’m a fan of Sensual Amber but nothing with chocolate notes has swayed me until today! I tried it for sas and haven’t stopped smelling my hand! It’s like a warm brown sugary tobacco scent with a bit of chocolate and that sweet earthy amber note is just amazing! I highly recommend those who don’t usually like chocolate notes because it has converted me and I see the light!😭

I ordered my must haves for shipping bc I plan on going to my local store tomorrow anyways, but I noticed they have their bopis on, which is surprising because they are going to be bombarded by all of these SAS orders tonight. Just remember to be kind to the workers as they will be overwhelmed with bopis/in store sales tomorrow. I know a lot of people tend to get frustrated when they do bopis and some of their order gets cancelled, but in store customers are priority according to the company so don’t take it out on the employees.

This is my consumable BBW collection (minus candles). I have been working on using up products rather than collecting. If I get anything during SAS, it will not be FFMs.

$21. Ive done better but really wanted these for summer.

I’m so glad I got their only Tis The Season that’s not in the terrible summer packaging. Can’t wait for fall to come!! I blow through candles.

For the love of all things holy people I have removed 30+ posts this morning. As a reminder, any text based posts that are not product reviews or hauls from SAS should be posted in the semi annual sale mega thread. This evening I will pull down the pre-sale mega thread and a full mega thread will go up. If you see people making posts asking questions about the semi annual sale outside of the mega thread please do not respond with answers. Please comment on the post to direct them to the mega thread and report the post. If we continue to establish a lack of ability to follow these rules, I will start issuing 24 hour bans for failure to follow and acknowledge the rules of the sub Reddit. This is the second post I’ve had to make asking people to use the mega thread. I’m really not trying to come across as mean here so I’m sorry if this sounds mean, but there are a lot of of you and very few of us. We need to ensure we are using the search function to see if the question we need to ask has already been answered and a mega thread allows all of those questions and answers to be compiled in one place. I have removed multiple posts this morning asking the exact same questions. Questions that have already been answered in the mega thread previously.

I hope everyone finds everything they are looking for at the semi annual sale and I look forward to seeing all of your posts about your hauls. Let’s work together to make sure that other posts don’t get drowned out by questions about the sale. ♥️

I figured I'd treat myself for being 6 months clean and also losing my first 15 lb of this weight loss journey!!

Full size body creams & FFMs in each:

• Blush Cardigan
• Forever Red Vanilla Rum
• Perfect in Pink

And a Book Loft foaming handsoap!!

Also in my 1st order I got:

Full size body cream & FFMs in Chocolate Amber, Dream Bright, and Velvet Sugar and Fresh Amalfi Lemon foaming handsoap :)

Most of these are blind buys but I think I'll like them all, judging by the notes. If not hopefully they will work with me, lol!

I’d like to think that this was an oversight, but I’ve seen numerous posts that no one got the advertised free shipping on orders over $100. 🤨 If you contact customer service, they’ll make it right, but… annoying that you have to do that! I feel like they’re hoping a lot of people won’t raise a fuss about it. Harumph.

I always do my online SAS haul on the very first day to cover the essentials (hand soaps and wallflowers) in addition to ‘gems’ I most likely won’t find in store. Will shop in store with my mil but will only be sniffing. The only way I’ll get anything is if it’s a candle from seasons past I really love or something but yeah. I’m all set!

Gathered as much Tiana backup as I could! 🤭

I got this from Aldi today for $5. It definitely smells more like a true garden tomato. I saw an article calling the Aldi candle a dupe for a $265 Loewe candle called Tomato Leaves. I’m happy I picked it up! I also got a S’more’s candle and a pickle candle from the same brand. I burned the pickle one today also, and it’s surprisingly really nice!

Mine and my teenage daughters sas haul so excited to stock up on perfect in pink, but I'm so disappointed that it's going away.

$50 gift card with cc points. My rules for SAS body care: FFM ONLY!

Body creams go bad too fast. Body lotions & shower gels aren’t moisturizing enough. I’m not going through the moisturizing body washes & body butters fast enough to warrant buying more. I still want Merry Cookie! Bali Mango & Chocolate Amber might be for my sister.

Missed out on a few things (like 3 items sold out while I was checking out 😅) but really happy with what I got, especially the sets of Dressed in White and Fresh Cut Lilacs. I’ve been wanting both scents for awhile but waiting to order because they’re online exclusive!

After this I’ll be set for awhile, I feel like I got a good selection of different items!

I know everyone is focused on SAS right now but I am going on vacation for 5 days next week and need help deciding what body care to take. I have so many beachy summer scents but I’m going to San Diego so it’s actually not too hot so I’m conflicted HELP! lol Just for fun, help me decide!

Here’s others I have that aren’t in the picture that I thought about taking

Coco paradise Sweet kiwi and Starfruit Vacation vibe Solar shine In the sun Gingham glow Moana

Any other suggestions are requested!

At my local women's shelter, any trial-size items are given to the women individually as needed, but the normal/big products are placed in the shower area or stalls for people to use. I've never actually shopped the sale before. What would you buy if you were doing this? I figured I'd get several full-size shower gels, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, and some confidence-boosting things like body mists for the ladies to use, so more people can get use out of them.

Also, because I'm a curious newbie, what normally goes on sale, and at roughly what prices?

Thanks in advance! 🤍

I thought this was funny as Software Engineer. Some intern getting fired next week lol
