Anybody ever gone to Bath and Body Works on Black Friday?

[traces7]

I see they are opening at midnight. Trying to decide if I'm going or ordering online. On their facebook pg. it says on Black Friday you can combine coupons (which normally you can't). So I'm thinking of going in person. Plus they have the bag filled with products for $20 if you spend $40. Is it worth it to go? Will it be super crazy? Never done Black Friday before!!
Oh, and how long will the bags they're giving away last? Will they be gone really quickly?

Ooh, I love that store. Hopefully someone can chime in on this!

I do it every year! It is super crazy...but they are very well organized. While the line snakes throughout the store and sometimes longer.....the wait is usually not any longer than 20 mins. I that they are letting us combine coupons this year!

I am having a hard time with this, can anyone clarify? Right now I have a (fake) shopping cart online, and my total is $72.98. The cart consists of the B3G3 free special, the 6 for $20 soaps, and the VIP bag. So $72.98. So using the info on the facebook page, it appears I can use two $10 off $30 coupons PLUS a "get a free item with a $10 purchase coupon"? So I can get an ADDITIONAL item and my whole purchase will be $52.98 plus tax?? I wasn't planning on going to B&BW..but if I am right..dang, I am going to make sure I make it.

If I understand it right, you are correct and your total would be 52.98. I'm also having a hard time figuring it all out!
The only thing i worry about is if the store will have everything that I want. I already know that they don't have 1 of the items I want, we were there the other day and they didn't have it.

I was just on the website and it says the offer for the vip bag can not be combined w/ any other offers.

It was super crazy last year, they were over the fire code limit and so people were waiting outside. DH stood in line while I shopped then we checked out, it took close to 30 minutes. This year I ordered online.

Only if you buy online, if you buy in the store it can be combined with other offers. If you look on their facebook page it gives all the details under the Black Friday FAQ

I received the Free item with $10 card, but I can't find the other coupon offers y'all are talking about.

I think your math is on the right track, except is your free item worth exactly $13.00?

That's the one thing I don't like about the free item coupon -- none of the things I want are $13.00. I probably will count one of the candles (2 for $20.00) as my free item. The other things that I want are all around $5.00 (hand soap, candle holders).

Oops -- I just looked at the original post again, and I think I am projecting my problem on to you! Sorry!

We've been getting a lot in the mail and at the store. We have several $10 off $30 that we got in the store. The VIP bag you don't need a coupon, you just have to buy $40 of products and than you can get the bag for $20. Hope this helps!

Thanks for the info about the coupons!

Didn't make it there tonight, might try later this am.

OP here, we went last night at midnight (well we got there about 11:15 p.m.). Had to wait in the the car til 11:45 than they opened the mall doors. Went to Bath and Body Works and waited, there was about 10 people ahead of us, 15 people behind us. They came out and handed the VIP bags to people who wanted them about 11:55, then opened the doors.

It was crowded, our Bath and Body Works is small. But we grabbed what we wanted and got to the checkout quickly.

I bought 3 of the triple wick candles, a pr. of aloe socks, one of those little clip scent things and the VIP bag (which has $103 in products). I was able to use 2 $10 off coupons and 1 free item coupon, and it came up to $35!! I thought that was a great deal!

We were out of the mall by 12:30, we stopped to check out Kohls, but it was crazy.
