If the thought of spending nearly £30 on a candle makes you shudder, you’ll love this.
Aldi is selling scented candles for just £3.15 and one customer claims the scent is ‘stronger than Yankee’.
Bargain hunter Louise Mars was so pleased with her purchase that she told other buyers about it via social media, to the surprise of many.
Post message on Aldi UK Shoppersa closed Facebook group with 299,400 members, Louise said she spotted a Clean Cotton Yankee Candle at Tesco for £28, but was then over the moon to find a Soft Linen candle at Aldi for a fraction of the price.
Delighted with her dupe purchase, which not only saved her money but also smelled fresh, she wrote: “£3.15 from Aldi. Bought two for £6.30 instead of two Yankee candles for £56!!!!
“Absolutely ridiculous prices! Slightly smaller at 57g, but the Aldi version has a stronger scent than Yankee Candle.
“Winner, winner, chicken dinner!!”
So if you want to save £24.85 but don’t want to compromise on scent, you need to run to your local Aldi ASAP and bag this Purewick buy.
Louise later beamed: “I can confirm that I walked into my living room after I lit them and can [still] smell them.”
Louise’s post clearly made an impression on many as it quickly received over 200 likes and many shoppers were quick to reply to the comments to share their thoughts on these bargains.
Someone said, “I want AAAALLL the candles.”

Why do Aldi and Lidl have such fast checkouts?
IF you have ever shopped at Aldi or Lidl, you have probably experienced the super-fast checkout staff.
Aldi’s reputation as a fast supermarket is not without reason. The supermarket chain even claims that its checkouts are 40 percent faster than those of competitors.
It’s all part of Aldi’s plan to be as efficient as possible, which, the budget retailer claims, helps keep costs down for customers.
Efficient barcodes on packaging allow employees to scan items as quickly as possible. Most products have multiple barcodes to speed up the process.
Shelf-ready packaging is also used, keeping replenishment costs low.

Someone else said: “Ikea candles are amazing.”
