This is the Time of Year to Stock Up on Candles!

[Woodland Woman]

Try and catch the after Christmas sales.

I got a lot of candles for 50% off!

I also got walnuts, chestnuts, and sun dried figs from the grocery store 75% off today!

What are some other things we can get good deals on this time of year?

OMG! I forgot about candle collecting.

Where should I go??? I'm OUT of candles. I know even Kroger had them cheap before Christmas...

Dangit. LOL.

I'll have to leave the house Thursday.

Too bad they all smell like vanilla. Thank you for the reminder.

 

[abifae]

I won't buy smelly ones. LOL

Thanks for the reminder. I DO have a pretty good stock of candles (two cabinets full, LOL) but ... I dunno. Will probably have to pass this year anyway.

Would like to find oil and lamps cheap enough instead.

They say clothing is super-cheap now. I don't look. I used to buy Christmas decorations and holiday-related stuff after Christmas.

I *wish* they'd put turkeys on sale. Not going to happen. Probably only candy on sale, LOL.

Got a large jar candle for $2 at Walley World. Cinnamon!

Yes, still lots of things on the shelves marked down 50% at Walmart last night. Get unscented if you can. When, years back, our electricity was out for 2 weeks, all I had was scented candles I learned my lesson!!

I only buy unscented candles. The stick candles are unscented but most of the pillar style are scented. Tea candles are also unscented. I have some candle sticks that have glass covers and that helps the stick candles from burning too fast. You can also trim the wicks.

I snagged a case at Wally World after Christmas.They were something like 4 for a dollar and are the 12" tapers. My Mom always stored hers in the freezer. She said it helped them burn slower and drip less. I have too many for that though.
