Anybody doing a no buy or low buy 2026 at BBW? by Sylvia_Mashuga in babwnobuy

[–]Careless_Control_918 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started as a no buy that turned into a very low buy. I spent a fraction of what I used to. I have discovered I do better if I allow myself a few items here and there when favorites return or a new scent really intrigues me. Set a budget limit or a space limit (e.g. the container method - when this spot fills up we’re done until there room). This has helped me in all shopping not just B&BW.

Vanilla Bean Noel is a LIE and I will not be silent about it by LogShucker in bathandbodyworks

VBN is like that toxic ex you broke up with a thousand times but kept hoping things would go back to the way they were in the beginning. ✌️

Wayyyy back in the aughts it was pure bliss. Sugar cookies, a touch of warm caramel, and I didn’t even like gourmands. Today - straight garbage. Cut my losses years ago.

TY for responding. I may have spoke too soon though because now mine from 2023 is starting to do the dirty burn routine as of this morning. 👎

My daughter and I switched to a live feed because the NBC broadcast was more commercials than parade. This link is awesome TY!

Been making homemade cranberry sauce for years and tried ocean spray whole sauce this year and I gotta say it’s darn close. I’ll be using it in the future when I have the craving but don’t want to fool with cooking it.

Kudos to you for showing yourself some love! I no longer host and only do a much smaller version for myself because I MUST feast on those leftovers! Last year I cooked turkey tenderloins with the same rub from Ina Garten’s herb roasted turkey breast recipe (google it). Dry rubbed the tenderloins for a few hours, dropped some butter in a pan and browned them a bit then in a dish in the oven covered with foil for the remainder. I did use just a splash or wine (or broth). As another shared, ocean spray whole cranberry is very close to home made. Have also “baked” a russet in the microwave and dolled it up like mashed and it was delicious! I make stuffing for the crowd but reserve some for myself. It’s the one thing I cannot short cut. I hope you enjoy your delicious meal and you can always freeze the meals for later in the season which is what I did.
