I’m a pro dumpster diver – I found $300 worth of Bath & Body Works products, everything was intact
ONE man’s trash is another one’s treasure.
One dumpster-diving woman proved this as she discovered almost intact Bath and Body Works products that had been thrown out by employees.
When people take back products to stores that have a very lenient return policy, those items never make it back on the floor.
In fact, almost always, those items are thrown out by employees after they’ve scribbled on them or stained them to deter dumpster divers.
But that certainly did not stop Leighla Davis who discovered almost intact products from Bath and Body Works.
Taking to social media where she goes by Diving with Leighla, the mom-of-two shared her latest haul.

In just one night, she found a briefly burned three-wick candle, which often goes for $26.50, plus a few bathroom sprays ($8.50), wall plug-ins ($7.50 each), and body sprays ($17.50), she claimed in one video.
And for those worried about germs, she said: “I wipe it all down with Clorox wipes which disinfectants and takes the sharpie off!”
In a second video, she shared what she had found after an early morning dive.
She found a three-wick candle, along with four one-wick candles ($15.50), and bags full of wall plug-ins.

In total, Davis had over $300 worth of products that she could reuse.
Previously, a Bath and Body Works employee revealed you can still get discontinued scents without too much effort.
Former Bath & Body Works employee Kaitlin Tucker exclusively revealed to The Sun that some retired scents can be reused for a “new” scent.
That’s right: she claimed the popular candle, body care, and fragrance retailer sometimes repackages and renames old scents while advertising them as new.
“Obviously, it’s not been stated by the company, but as being a previous employee and working there for five years, you tend to catch onto things such as repackaging,” Tucker told The Sun.
“You know when your favorite scent is repackaged to something else.
“You’re like: ‘Oh my God, I know what this is but it’s not called the same thing.’”
For instance, Tucker said her favorite candle is Midnight Blue Citrus.
She believes it is a scent that’s repackaged during the holiday season as Snowflakes and Citrus.

While she said she doesn’t know the company’s exact reasoning for doing such a thing, she made an educated guess that they possibly “wanted to add in a crowd favorite” within their holiday scents.
Additionally, she said she’s certain another one of her favorites, Bourbon Strawberry and Vanilla, was repackaged as Wild Strawberry Leaf.
