I went to a BBW outlet over the weekend and spotted a ton of TD gift sets!!! They contained Creme Brulee, LM and AFC.
I also saw a large amount of the holiday gift sets with the 3 3-in-1s in Eggnog, Hot Chocolate and Gingerbread. I can't remember what the prices were but they were cheap.

They had a lot of mini lotions in BSF and FV. I got a couple of each of them. I also got 2 Bigelow Cancer Vixen lotions and 1 shower gel for $3.99 each.

Other than that there wasn't anything interesting, but it was a truly nice surprise to see some TD stuff after all this time.

Hi all! Heads up on the TD sets. I bought 5 of the sets, got them home, opened a box right away as I was so excited to try them again. I was then in tears because the Lemon Meringe and Angel Food Cake souffles had turned color and the scent was wayyyyy off on them. I was so upset! I had to return all of them!
I wonder how long those puppies had been sitting in a warehouse somewhere before they discovered them and sent them to the outlets??

I went in to my local outlet today not expecting to spend much $, but I couldn't resist the 75% off merchandise. Here's what I got (all 75% off):

Fit-Flops-black
Shea Cashmere Bubble Bath
Shea Cashmere foot cream
Warm Milk and Honey lotion
Warm Milk and Honey body wash
Black Currant Vanilla body wash
Fresh Vanilla lotion
Twisted Peppermint Lotion

I will try to attach a pic. I really want the Shea Cashmere lotion or body cream, but had to settle for the foot cream since that was all they had besides the bubble bath. Anyway, have to hide my stuff before my hubby gets home, but I spent about $37 with tax. Couldn't resist!!

Very nice haul, Jercatz!!
Thanks for the picture, and enjoy your goodies.

Great buys Jercatz!
I called the outlet by me, and asked if they had any Temptations. The only ones they have are Frozen Daiquiri and Beyond Berry 3-in-1s. I am not really interested in either of those, so I will have to pass.

Nice Haul! And kudos on finding full size FV. I can never seem to find full size FV lotions; the closest I came was last year and I found some trila size and the 4oz sizes at a couple of local BBWs. I haven't seen any FV body creams at the BBWS I usually visit. I've seen the trial size bubble bath's and shower gels but that's about it.

The only Temptations my store has right now is the Beyond Berry 3-in-1 and the Frozen Daiquiri lotion. I did get a Pumpkin Pie 3-in-1 a while ago and they've had some 3-in-1 minis occasionally. When they first opened they had Island Coconut lotion and I bought a few. I was surprised to see the FV lotion too. They had the body cream once, but I didn't pick any up then. I'm learning to grab things when they're there, since you might never see them again. Since my nearest regular BBW is over an hour away, I find myself at the outlet store every other week, usually after payday!!

PS-I wore the Fit Flops around the house for a while last night, I was mostly watching TV. My calves feel it.

I made my second trip in during sale and got:
Sleep black chamomile bodywash
Night light wallflower
Spiced Cider Scentport
Tree Scentportable

I think that's it. There wasn't too much, as others have been saying.

I did, however, see a TON of sunset mango splashes at mine for those of you interested.

Has anyone visited a BBW outlet lately?
I'm thinking about going to one in a week or two, and was wondering what I can expect.

I get to my outlet at least twice a month. There hasn't been anything real exciting lately. The Signature line is there in the old packaging for $4.99 or sometime 5 for $20. There has been a lot of Twisted Peppermint lotions, sprays and Christmas gift sets at 75% off. Aromatherapy body washes for $4.99 in selected scents. Some Breathe items at 75% off. Candles at half off, I've picked up some nice ones. Most wallflowers are $4.99, but some are 75% off. Some EDT's for $5.99. The antibacterials have been 3 for $10.
I told myself I wouldn't go there for a month or more, hoping there would be newer stuff if I waited, but I probably won't be able to stick with it!!

I am thinking about visiting the one in Georgia in the near future since I've never been to one of the outlets before. Has anyone shopped at that one before? Do all of the outlets have similar selections or are some much larger than others?

volguy85,

I have shopped at the calhoun ga outlet and they tend to have a good selection. I don't know what part of ga you are in but if you are close to the florida line the st. Augustine is my favorite. Unfortunately we are not doing a beach trip this year (we thought we would do a desert trip) and I will miss that chance to rack up in St. Augustine. They have TONS of stuff and is fairly large.

There is an outlet about 20 minutes from me, in Lebanon Tn, but they just don't have that much.

Thank you, kelli. I actually live in Knoxville, TN but am moving soon to middle Georgia, so I'm sure Calhoun is going to be much closer than St. Augustine would be. May have to make a trip down that way this summer though.

Thanks for the response, jercatz. You're our BBW outlet expert. I'll probably end up with some Aromatherapy stuff, and hopefully I'll be able to find a couple more apothecary jars.
Also, it would be hard for me not to go either if I were living so close to an outlet.

Welcome to the board, volguy85. The selection in each store varies greatly, in my opinion. Some stores have way more than others especially when it comes to hard to find items. But I've never been to 2 outlets around the same time, so I may be mistaken.

Now that you mention it Fryl, I havent been to the outlet near me in quite some time. You definitely have me wanting to go now, I think I will stop out there in the next couple of weeks.

I saw a couple of interesting things at the BBW outlet.
They had a few shelves with Me! Bath products.
The packaging is adorable, and the products smell nice especially Strawberry Kiwi.
I've never heard of this brand, here's their website: http://mebath.com/
They had tons of Comptoir Sud Pacifique EdTs.
I finally got to try Vanille Citrus.
There were a lot of third party brands that I simply didn't care for.
The store also had the wax tarts, but I completely forgot to pick a few up.

And the most interesting thing, they hardly had any Breathe stuff.
The last time I visited an outlet, the store consisted for over half of Breathe products.

Unfortunately, the prices weren't as good. There were very few products on sale for 75% off.

I was just at an outlet in Orlando last weekend, though I honestly didn't pay too much attention to everything else that was in there--I was there for White Citrus, and White Citrus alone. I vaguely remember seeing some old-packaging stuff, but not a lot of anything that really jumped out at me. It pretty much struck me as a really big flagship rather than an outlet outlet, per se. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Totally unrelated, but I'm really diggin' the expanded home fragrance options that BBW's offering these days, especially the fact that they've got a Slatkin pine-y fragranced candle out right now (or at least one of the flagships near me does)! I forget the name of the scent, but it was delightfully Christmasy, and every now and again I just want the house to smell fresh and crisp and wintery, even when it's 9000 degrees outside.
