They showed how they walked away with a selection of candles from Asda and made a huge saving.

Posting on the Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, they wrote how they stocked up on three Yankee candles in a range of scents - down from £12.97 each.

This included their pink Sugared Blossom candle and their grey Cosy Up scent.

And that wasn’t all they snapped up.

They also picked up some EcoWix candles for a bargain 50p, which usually cost £8.

The discounted candles were found in Saint Austell, Cornwall, but people seemed keen to check their local Asda to see if they were reduced.

One person said: “We going straight to asda.”

Another added: “I want some.”

A third commented: “I’ll have a look.”

Meanwhile, one shopper lamented: “we never get bargains like these.”

Bargain lovers race to their local ASDA to snap up cult favourite Yankee candles for over five times cheaper than elsewhere

Typically, Yankee Candles don't come in cheap - with the biggest ones setting you back a whopping £31.99.

So it’s no wonder fans are often on the hunt to find discounts, with some saying Tesco reduced prices this month.

Fans of the scented classics shared how they were 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.
