Yankee Candle fans are racing to their local high street card shop to nab 33p bargains
THEY'RE a favourite for people around the world. But Yankee Candles don't come in cheap - and you can expect to pay anything up to around £65 for a gift set. 2 2 So you can bet that fans of the fragrant candles are hitting their local Card Factory, after hearing there's a set reduced to just £2. Given that it's a set of six, it works out at just 33p each. Lynsay took to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook to share her find, after stumbling across the set in her local high street store. "Great sale on in Card Factory just now," she wrote, adding that she'd found the deal in the Edinburgh store. "I got these Yankee votives for £2. "They had loads of other good bargains too!" The same set - containing the soft cotton, pink sand sunset, exotic fruits, cherry vanilla, vanilla frosting and pomegranate coconut votives - retails for £12 in Argos. "Ideal for Xmas!" one person commented on the post. To which Lynsay replied: "Exactly why I bought a few!" "If these are in your shop keep me one and I will get down a day for them," someone else wrote, tagging a friend. Bargain lovers race to their local ASDA to snap up cult favourite Yankee candles for over five times cheaper than elsewhere The votive set is likely to be even more popular thanks to the fact it contains one of Yankee's most popular scents - cherry vanilla. "I bought this a month ago and burned it every night since!" one person said of a candle in the fruity fragrance. "It smells amazing and will be repurchasing!" "I am so over the moon with this candle and how it smells throughout my home," another gushed. " It can burn for a very long time and the smell fills the room in minutes." "Beautiful fragrant candle that once you take the lid of you instantly smell how strongly scented it is," a third commented. "You can smell both the vanilla and cherry and they compliment each other so well. "Once lit, the aroma feels up the room and you feel relaxed. "Highly recommend!" As someone else agreed: "This has to be one of my favourite scents in a candle. "Both the vanilla and cherry complement each other to give off a very fruity but not to strong fragrance. "The scent circulates the whole room."
