IT’S arguably the most popular candle brand in the world.
But Yankee Candles don’t come in cheap – with the biggest ones setting you back a whopping £31.99.

So it’s no wonder fans of the scented classics are racing to their local supermarket to stock up on Yankees reduced to just £3 a pop.
And they aren’t even the rubbish Christmas leftovers you often see left on the shelf after the festive season ends.
Melanie took to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook to share a snap of the two she’d managed to nab in Tesco – creamy coconut and cosy cotton.
“Yankee candles £3 at Tesco (had loads!)” she wrote alongside the picture.
And other shoppers quickly took to the comments section to weigh in, with many admitting they were already planning a trip to their local supermarket on the hunt for the bargain buys.
“Which Tesco?” one person asked.
To which Melanie replied: “Eastbourne, but I presume it’s all stores that sell them.”
“Let’s go tomorrow lol,” another added, tagging a friend.
“Keep a lookout for the coconut one,” a third instructed a pal.
“Love a Yankee me….not that I’ve got loads or out,” someone else said.
“Like me after Christmas – I went mad looking and getting more,” another admitted.
“I have the Coconut one, smells good!” someone else wrote.
However, another pointed out that there’s a reason the candles Melanie found were so cheap.
And that’s because they’re actually from Yankee’s Home Inspiration range, and retail at full price for around £6.
“Not the original Yankee candles,” they wrote.
“They’re Home Inspiration – good bargain though!”

For those that can’t afford Yankee Candles regularly, there are more than a few knockoffs on the market.
One such dupe is the Sweet Blossom candle in Aldi, which is the store’s version of Yankee’s much-loved Sugared Blossom scent.
Posting a picture of the dupe she’d managed to buy in the store on the bargain hunter Facebook page, Chloe wrote alongside it: “£3 in Aldi and smells exactly the same as the Yankee sugared blossom!”
“Definitely saving a few ££,” she added.
“Burning it now and can smell it all over the house,” one person wrote in the comments.
“Bought some of these for Xmas and they are exactly like Yankee, will defo be getting these in future,” another vowed.
“Oh I love YC sugared blossom,” a third gushed.
“Savers are doing it just now for a tenner for the large jar.”
