Farmfoods Mother's Day shoppers say they've 'never seen Yankee Candles so cheap'

One keen-eyed Farmfoods shopper noticed that the budget supermarket was selling Yankee Candles at a reduced price, and immediately took to Facebook to announce that they had "never seen them so cheap".

Yankee Candles are sold throughout the world, and are known to be rather pricey under most circumstances.

The customer shared a photo on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group which shows the candles available for a "bargain" price, however.

In the image, candles with scents such as Mango Peach Salsa, Campfire Apples, Coconut Rice Cream, and Cliffside Sunrise can be seen.

Shoppers can purchase any four of the candles for £40, which works out at just £10 per candle — considerably cheaper than the standard price of one.

Alongside the picture, the customer wrote: "Farmfoods bargain never seen them so cheap when they gone they're gone".

Before long, the post had received more than 600 likes and over 1,400 comments from fellow consumers.

One said: "They are large jar Yankee candles that usually cost £24.99 each. 4 for £40 is a huge bargain and they last for ages. Crisp Campfire Apples is lovely. I would buy them while you can."

"Makes it £10 a candle which is a bargain," a second concurred.

"Cheap especially they worth over 20 each," agreed a third.

A fourth shared: "I need these in my life".

"Mother's Day sorted," revealed a fifth.

Another joked: "This will be ideal to the baby dads who have kids with multiple mums for Mother’s Day gifts".

"They're you go fellas, if you've got 4 baby mommas out there you're sorted for Mother's Day," echoed a seventh.

However, not everyone was a fan of the deal — with some stating that they felt Yankee Candles were overrated.

One user commented: "My wax melts smell better than these".

A second agreed: "I make and sell my own wax melts, went right off Yankee years ago".

"Yankee candle are rubbish try Home Bargains ones they are amazing," suggested a third.

A fourth simply stated: "If you spend £40 for 4 candles you are crazy."
