When Is the Next Victoria’s Secret Semi-Annual Sale?

It’s the burning question that Victoria’s Secret shoppers have been frantically researching: When in June is the 2016 Victoria’s Secret Semi-Annual Sale?

If you’ve been wondering, you can now rest easy. It’s time to stop searching social media, quit checking your mailbox, and put an end to refreshing your email because we have everything you need to know about the next installment of Victoria’s Secret’s most-hyped sale event.

So when is it?

The whisperings and online rumors have been going on for weeks, and we finally have an answer:

All signs point to June 7 for the big sale.

Although Victoria’s Secret hasn’t officially pulled back the curtain on the date, we found ads from at least three shopping centers (the Houston County Galleria in Georgia, the Chambersburg Mall in Pennsylvania and Tysons Corner Center in Virginia) promoting June 7 as the first day of the sale. Each ad also indicates that Angel cardholders will receive early access at 7 a.m. that day.

Of course, you’ll want to check with your local store for official participating information, but from all indications, June 7 is the day you’ve been waiting for.

What else do you need to know?

It’s tough to prepare for the Victoria’s Secret Semi-Annual Sale, other than knowing that the deals are huge and they are guaranteed to go fast.

For an idea of what to expect, take a look at past offerings. In January’s Semi-Annual Sale, for example, shoppers took advantage of impressive savings, including: 25% to 40% off bras, up to 40% off sleepwear, up to 60% off clothing, $16.99 and up bra clearance and $3.99 and up panty clearance.

Judging from past installments of the sale, you can expect discounts to last for a week or two. Additionally, Victoria’s Secret usually includes free shipping on orders above a certain minimum amount for its online customers.

But remember, you won’t be the only one waiting for prices to drop, so expect inventory to sell out fast. If you want first dibs on discounted merchandise, be ready at your local store when it opens or shop online.
