Wax Luvs Wicks

Ah … the Jar-normous.  This is the bigger one out of the two (I think).  It’s not just Christmas scents like the one after the Holidays. 

Okay so I thought I would share which scents I would like to see at the semi annual sale at Yankee Candle.  There is nothing like getting a good deal on a Yankee candle.  Last year this was the run down:  You could buy 6 large jars or tumblers for $69.  2 large jars or tumblers for $25.  1 large jar or tumbler for $15.  Of course this was out of the select scents (treasure scents and discontinued scents) bought back just for the SAS.  If they have something similar to this I will stock up if it ends up being $12 to $13 a jar.  Of course there were special prices for tarts and medium jars/tumblers.   I’m not sure how it will be this year, but if they bring back scents here which ones I want:

Shortbread Cookie – I know I have one already but it’s so good I want several of them.  I think this could be a scent I could use all the time.
Country Lemonade – They discontinued this scent last year but I am hoping they will bring back some that are in stock. I hope!
Water Garden – A nice watery floral.
Star Fruit and Orange – I bought this scent last year and fell in love with it.  Nice and bright just the way I like them!
Leather – I didn’t grab it last year and I hope it’s out again this year.
Vanilla Oak – Nice scent…different then your traditional vanilla scents.
Tutti Frutti – This was out last year too and I didn’t get it in time when I was checking out online.
Banana Cream Pie – I only could snag one last year.
Lemon Zest – Never had this one.  I do have tart in it.
Peaches and Berries – I want a second since I have been using mine up.
Mom’s Apple Pie – would be nice to try this one!
Raspberry Cream – This is wonderful with Jelly Donut ..just an added bit of sweetness
Candied Apple – I have never tried this scent.
Juicy Orange – Well I do love citrus.

I like it when they have the special pours, like the 10 oz tumbler of Stormwatch and Kiwi Berries and the three wick 17 oz (I think it is) in scents like Early Sunrise, Blueberry Scone, Fruit Salad, Candied Apple, and Cinnamon and Sugar.  These are great to have on hand.  I like the 3 wick ones the most.  The ones I have used have given off an amazing throw in my great room.  If they are planning on changing over the marbled wax for smooth in the tumblers this is when they might push those out. 

Of course there will be others that I can’t think of that might show up.  I know some of the seasonal summer scents will be retired but I am not sure which ones will stay.  I know Midnight Oasis will be leaving, it did last year.  I think Cherry Lemonade was another that left after the SAS.

Anyway, here are some tips to go by when shopping:

1. If you see what you want, get it.  Don’t wait because it won’t be there when you go back for it.  Prices do drop towards the end since they are trying to get rid of what they have in stock. 
2. Go for the best price.  Find scents to make the deal work for you.  For example if they have 6 for $70 don’t buy 2 jars over and over again.  Chances are you are not getting the best price. 
3. Have a plan.  Don’t just spend money, think of birthdays, holidays, or special occasions you would want to buy a gift for in the future.  This is a great way to take care of all of those things for cheap!
4. Know what scents and sizes you want ahead of time.  If you have an idea you can prepare.  Last year I knew the whole list of scents but this year no one is leaking the list but at least you know do you want fruit, food and spice, floral, fresh?  Do you want pillars, jars, tumblers etc?
5. If you can, shop both in store and online.  Last year I woke up at 3 in the morning to shop on line and grab what I wanted.  I did this once a week when the new deals were released and new scents were added.  Who doesn’t love shopping in their PJs.  Sometimes the stores will have different scents.  Make sure you check there periodically as well.  The ladies at my store know I will be dropping hundreds so they take good care of me. 
6.  Make room now.  If you have a lot of half used jars/tumblers, burn them to clear out the cabinet.  That’s what I have been doing this whole month.
7.Have fun with it. <3  I enjoy the thrill of the hunt.  Will I find what I want?  Who knows but I feel happy when I find something special.

I hope you have fun shopping the SAS!

Let me know what you all end up getting.  I love hearing what everyone finds.
