This week's bills have been paid and I just bought this week's groceries. With those things out of the way, I created this week's budget for candles and whatever might come up during the week. After my gift card, I made a rule is that I can only spend no more than $15.
My budget is a little lower than last year's budget. Inflation has eaten away at any kind of discretionary spending, my hours at work have been reduced. But I work in retail and even with the holidays coming, any extra hours are really not going to come mt way. The only way I might get a little bit more is if someone stops me and asks to place an order, the I might get something extra. My candle collection is pretty large, so I can't exactly justify more than getting 4 more candles.
With a price tag of $9.95, two candles are going to be ones that I love and the other two will be ones that I have never tried before. The two that are my tried and true is Winter and Vanilla Bean Noel and the two are Sweet Whiskey and Pure Wonder. Bath and Body Works does release some candles just in time for Candle Day but I am not interested in the ones that they are releasing. I do have a couple back up ideas for other scents, just in case the ones that I want are sold out. But I shall see how this one goes.
What is a little different from last year, is that this year, the sale begins at 6 am and not online at 8 pm. In one way, this might work out a little better. I work 2nd shift and I don't exactly the time when I get off work to wait in a virtual line. I can wake up a little earlier than normal and order my candles.
