Speaking of the TSV, does anyone know why Yankee Candle is so expensive? The candles are now $28.00! I have bought several Yankee candles but in my opinion they are no better than the Bathy and Body Works candles (that go on sale for $10.00 each) or even the Walmart or Target candles which smell wonderful for under $8.00.

Jennifera1331958574.58876 PostsRegistered 7/1/2011 I tend to just go for the tarts that they sell at Yankee Candle. If you sign up for their emails they usually send you a coupon a few times a year that you can get them for $1 each (org. 1.99). They just had a coupon where you can buy one candle, get one free, $10 off of $25 and so on. I am addicted to their tarts, but I do enjoy Bath and Body works candles as well.. I usually buy their wallflowers on sale. I agree with you about how expense their candles are because that is one of the reasons why I stopped purchasing them from Yankee Candle. upshatesme1331958664.797662 PostsRegistered 2/8/2011long island, ny i have used Yankee candles for as long as i can remember,(and for every season) (can you tell i love candles) but they are just not the same lately. the fragrance used to last forever, but now nothing. it's sad how things change. Life is too short to fret the small stuff… Let’s all live in a kinder, gentler world! turtle521331978243.7671429 PostsRegistered 2/22/2008 They ALWAYS have sales and coupons so when I buy, it is never for full price. You can sign up for their e-mails and they will e-mail you coupons. They have really good deals also at the end of the season and that is when I stock up. Also, their website offers $5 flat rate shipping if you don't meet the minimum purchase for free shipping. This too shall pass. Love Yankee Candle. I stock up during the after Christmas sale and their sale in the summer. Candles 50% off. They also do a lot of BOGO and I just received a coupon for 15.00 when you spend 45.00. Was burning Garden Sweet Pea last night. :) mp10261331992752.243185 PostsRegistered 3/8/2012 Have you ever tried the candles from Celebrating Home? They are a direct sales party plan business, but you can order online. Their candles are made from either soy or palm wax and they burn much cleaner and longer. The prices are great too, plus they ship anywhere in the continental US. Here is a link in case you want to check them out www.celebratinghome.com/sites/marthap On 3/17/2012 mp1026 said: Have you ever tried the candles from Celebrating Home?

Oh cool! Have to check that out. I did check out the other posters website, way too expensive. I really don't like those eh hem "home parties" because they are way overpriced in my opinion. Thanks though for the link...they did have cute items, just priced too high.

brunette Brunette,I hope you enjoy them.They really are great candle companies,you cant go wrong with either one of them although I believe Pure Integrity's shipping is less,but they both have great scents that are not overwhelming but they are strong and last throughout the candle.......Enjoy!!!! 54 yrs old,combo skin/w oily tzone

The sales are Easter and Labor Day.

Hi! Thanks for your input. I did purchase a Yankee Candle, I think it was Sun and Sand, and it did even permeated the room. I couldn't smell anything and that is with the candle lit. Now, don't get me wrong they do have a lot of other great smelling scents, but I expect to get a room full of scent when I spend $28.00 for a candle. Of course they do stand behind their candles and they did let me exchange it for another one. I will say they do have good customer service! :) WhoKnew1332035166.833197 PostsRegistered 12/13/2005 I have a Yankee Candle outlet near me and the large jar are only 13.00.

Hi! LOVE THE OUTLETS! :)
Yankee candles and most other B&M brands give me a scratchy feeling in my throat and nose. I like them unlit! That's when they smell pretty. I love PartyLite candles and get them on Ebay. Great prices and discontinued scents. I love candles. My first post was about candles. colliemom31332035672.24712734 PostsRegistered 9/7/2010 On 3/17/2012 brunette8706 said: On 3/17/2012 upsidedown said: Circle E - bird of paradise Trapp - orange vanilla Archipelago Botanical - plantation (Steinmart is the only place I can find this scent and it is wonderful) Have found that paying more for good candles is worth it; be wary of cheap ones that can have lead in their wicks...I even found this in one of my Aromatique Christmas candles....was not happy!
