Has anyone seen any NoCal at their WalMart lately? I think it's all been discontinued, but I'm not sure...

i was in wally world yesterday, i should have looked.

When I went last week, they had tons of them.

BUT, I guess everyone who was walking by wanted to try some, and they were all opened and leaking. It happens alot and I hate that when I want something I can't find a "good one".

i hate when that happens.i see that at tj maxx
well i guess thats everywhere.especially when
holes are poked thru the sealed cover, ive
seen people put their fingers in a bottle or jar
and "sample" some, uh dont think ill be buying
that one.

I don't know why TJMaxx is notorious for having ripped up packages. BUT-if you pick up one that is damaged, lots of times they will give you a discount. At Gordman's, I got a Rockin Rio (the only one that had recently) and it had been opened and a little bit sprayed, and I was able to get a 15% off of it. Just had to ask

I actually asked for a discount once at TJMaxx for a fragrance that obviously had been sprayed and I was told that there's no way they give discounts on perfumes even if they had been sprayed; that's their policy. I put the fragrance back, but was thinking that that wasn't making any sense.

I saw it when I went to Walmart yesterday. Maybe they were just out of stock

Exactly fryl!

I did the same thing when I went last week. They had a mangled box kit of Jaqua, everything was sealed except the candle was damaged inside and a bottle was badly dented. I asked if they would discount it. Of course they said no. I really didn't care for the citrus spray, but figured with the price that it was, plus discounted, it would have been a good deal.

They should discount, because with all of the products that are damaged at TJM, they could still make some profit.

you guys are right, they should discount it.

I know NoCal is still available in Canada, but no longer in the US (I believe).
If any of our Canadian friends could do me a favor and make a list here of the current NoCal scents, I would appreciate it. I guess I just like torturing myself.

Becky,

The last time I went to Walmart (approx. 1 month agi) they had:

Raspberry Sorbet
Strawberry Ice Cream
Orange Ripple
Cafe Au Lait
Vanilla Ice Cream

and I *think* Candy Apple

Next time I go I'll double check again for you

Thanks Jade!

Cafe au Lait and Strawberry Ice Cream sound wonderful! *Jealous of Canadians*
I still have a lot of my Vanilla Ice Cream, Orange Ripple, and Chocolate Ice Cream products.

The last time I was at Walmart, I didn't see any no-cal.

Becky, I have the same ones you do. I don't think that I have ever seen the strawberry though. I would love to try the Cafe Au Lait.

The Cafe Au Lait smells good! I got the mini sampler pack last time.

Do you guys want me to help you pick up some stuff the next time I go to Walmart?

That would be awesome Jade!! I'm particularly interested in Cafe au Lait and Strawberry Ice Cream sampler packs.

Of course, I'd be happy to reimburse you for the trouble when/if you decide to.

Jade,

I would love to get at least 2 bottles of the Cafe Au Lait!

I of course would reimburse you also for your time and trouble.

If you would like to swap for anything (I would pay the postage) or if you would rather just have payment, just let me know.

I would love to try the Strawberry Ice Cream.
I won't bother you though, Jade.
EBay has a few Chocolate Ice Cream sets for very reasonable prices. I wish I were into chocolate scents because I would have bought all of them.

Becky, noelle & Fryl,

You guys have PMs
