Last year I discovered Bath and Body Works scent Aruba Coconut. I received many compliments on it and tried to buy another bottle of it. However I discovered that it was a limited time scent. Seeing that I had only bought the one bottle last year I have not been using it every day.
To my delight I saw that Bath and Body Works had a buy 3 get 3 free sale going on 1/19-1/21/2013. One of the three featured scents was Aruba Coconut. I start plotting out what I am going to buy. Start adding them to my online cart. Deleted scents. Decided not to order. Went to the store to get a bottle of lotion that ended up being free with coupon. Glanced at their stock. Saw they had plenty of the Aruba Coconut in case I decided to head back and get 6 scents. Checked the web site again, made a potential list. Decided at 5:45 Sunday evening to head to Bath and Body Works. We only live about 7 maybe 10 minutes from the mall. There was a problem the store was going to close at 6. I knew I wouldn't get there in time. Well maybe it was for the better since I knew I had a whole lot of different scents already and really didn't need to add to my collection.
That was the real issue that had me struggling on whether to go and pick up 6 scents or not. I knew I already had a lot of different fragrances some I really don't even wear anymore. Why would I go add more just to get one scent. True I could have just purchased one bottle of Aruba Coconut, but it's $14 a bottle. If I took advantage of this sale and used my 20% off coupon they would only be $5.60 a bottle.
Since store had already closed I'm considered placing an online order. I can't see paying 6.99 for shipping, so I decide against the order. I guess I'm not meant to add six more scents.
Part of me was regretting not making up my mind sooner. However I don't really need them. I really was conflicted. Then I read my e-mail today. Wait the sale in stores and online ends today, not yesterday. Okay, don't run to the store and buy impulsively. Think about it. I finally decide around 3 to head out as long as the snow has not started yet. You're kidding I'm all dressed and ready to go and it's snowing. Wait it's not sticking. Should I go...No...Yes....No...YES. I give in and go.
Finally I'm at the mall pick up the first three or four scents no problem. Now trying to figure out the remaining so this trip wasn't a wasted trip. What feels like a long time later I have the six bottles in hand, head to the check-out and ask if I could use the 20% coupon on top of the buy 3 get 3 free sale. Yippee I can!!
After examining the receipt I saved $50.40 and only spent 35.73. For the 59% I saved it was worth going out and getting the Aruba Coconut and the other five scents.
