And they've been taking to Facebook to boast about their purchases, with one person showing the eight candles they'd picked up in the Fizzy Fruit Punch scent.

"Still finding the Yankee candle bargains," the person wrote, sharing a snap of the candles and also their receipt.

"Asda - great for teacher xmas presents!!!"

The larger 538g candles were £1.50, while the smaller 340g ones were £1.20.

According to the Yankee Candle website, the Fizzy Fruit Punch scent has the "fragrance of a refreshing drink sparkling with scents of pink grapefruit, rhubarb, and watermelon".

And people were quick to comment on the post on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group, with one writing: "Do they show on the shelf as discounted?"

"No, I had to scan," the person responded.

"I did see, it’s unlikely to be in our store," another added.

"Look how cheap these are," someone else wrote.

"I need some," another insisted.

As someone else agreed, writing: "Need to go!"

The latest Yankee Candle bargains come after someone was branded the "worst kind of person" when they stocked up on the discounted candles in their local Asda.

Gaynor, from Glasgow, spotted the scent boosting items scanning in her local Asda for as little as £1.20.

Sharing her incredible find on the Facebook group, she said: “Bargain in Asda tonight all £1.50 and under.”

In her first haul, Gaynor nabbed six of the full sized fizzy fruit punch Yankee Candles and three of the citrus spice candles for £1.50 each, down from £11.50.

She also bagged two of the home inspiration midnight magnolia scents in the medium jar, which usually cost £13 but were reduced to £1.20.

The savvy shopper then returned the following day and filled her trolley again.

That time, she managed to pick up at least 22 Yankee Candles in the sale, with her trolley filled with the jars.

She said: "We’ll look what I got more of today .

"Large Yankee £1.50, smaller Yankee £1.20 in Asda."

Gaynor's posts racked up thousands of likes and comments on Facebook, but left social media users divided.

Some applauded her bargain finds, as one said: "I’d have a trolley full too."

A second wrote: "I'd have cleared the shelf too lol. Loveee candles."

A third agreed: "Good for you, I would have taken the lot too."

Meanwhile, a fourth joked: "Well we can guess what people are getting for Christmas this year lol."

Others, however, slammed the bargain hunter for clearing the shelves.

One fumed: "You won’t find any cuz she got them all… ridiculous."

A second wrote: "The worst kind of person."

A third added: "Tells people of great bargains for good prices. Buys loads so there isn’t any left for anyone else."

And after another blasted “Why post when you’ve left nothing for other people?”, Gaynor hit back: “I’m sure you are hundreds of miles away from me and correct me if I’m wrong is this not a bargain page?”
