Last year I omitted almost all my Bath & Body Works shopping trips because clearly I have an addiction! LOL I love their candles, bought close to 100 last year (with coupons of course!) but still I don't want to think about how much I spent. My new years resolution was to cut back but damn them and their great deals and coupons! Today's one day deal was for their new formula hand soap free with ANY purchase and the candles went back to the correct sale price of 2/$22 because I quit buying them at 2/$25! We went to 3 stores total to do the hand soap deal, I did 1 transaction and my mom did 1 at each store.
