WHAT’S better than unwinding at the end of a long day with a glass of wine, your favourite TV show on and a candle in the background?
If you love your home smelling nice, then you may wish to plan a trip to the nearest ASDA, where thrifty shoppers have spotted posh Yankee candles going for as little as 28p.

One lucky customer, Tiff Wing, took to Facebook to inform fellow bargain hunters about the scent-sational deal.
According to Tiff, who showed off her mega haul on the popular Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group, ASDA has now slashed the prices of the cult favourite Yankee products.
Before the fabulous sale, a large Yankee candle would set you back an eye-watering £16 depending on the scent – however, Tiff managed to snap up a whopping dozen for over ten times less.
The ASDA customer, who paid just £1.20 for each of the iconic candles, got her hands on several gorgeous scents, including lavender – which is perfect if you want to relax.
Bargain-mad shoppers can also snap up the posh candle in Soft Cotton, which boasts an impressive five-star rating online, and Vanilla Frosting.
Meanwhile, if you’re on the lookout for something even cheaper, it’s worth checking out Yankees melts – which are now going for a mere 28p.
Elsewhere, these retail for a whopping £3.75, so shoppers are saving more than £3 – it’s really a deal you shouldn’t be sleeping on.
All chuffed with the jaw-dropping haul, which included dive melts and 12 huge candles, Tiff revealed in her post that the total costs came to just £15.80.
Not only is this less than a single large Yankees candle, but they’re also bound to last Tiff ages, as one such candle burns up to a whole 150 hours.
Since being shared on the popular page, the post has taken the internet by storm, racking up close to 90 likes and 76 comments.
Dozens flooded to tag their friends and family, as one exclaimed: ”Score!”
”There’s so many bargains,” another chimed in.
However, it appears that not only is this deal not available online but also only at a few selected stores, as some claimed they struggled to find the cut-price goodies.
”OMG I went in this morning + saw nothing,” moaned a bargain hunter.
How to save at Asda
Shop the budget range
Savvy shopper Eilish Stout-Cairns recommends that shoppers grab items from Asda’s Just Essentials range.
She said: “Asda’s budget range is easy to spot as it’s bright yellow! Keep your eyes peeled for yellow and you’ll find their Just Essentials range.
“It’s great value and I’ve found it has a much wider selection of budget items compared to other supermarkets.
Sign up to Asda Rewards
The savvy-saver also presses on the importance of signing up to Asda’s reward scheme.
She said: “Asda Rewards is free to join and if you shop at Asda you should absolutely sign up.
“As an Asda Rewards member, you’ll get exclusive discounts and offers, and you’ll also be able to earn 10% cashback on Star Products.
“This will go straight into your cashpot, and once you’ve earned at least £1, you can transfer the money in your cashpot into ASDA vouchers.
We’ve previously rounded up the best supermarket loyalty schemes – including the ones that will save you the most money.
Look out for booze deals
Eilish always suggests that shoppers looking to buy booze look out for bargain deals.
She said: “Asda often has an alcohol offer on: buy six bottles and save 25%.
“The offer includes selected bottles with red, white and rose options, as well as prosecco. There are usually lots of popular bottles included, for example, Oyster Bay Hawkes Bay Merlot, Oyster Bay Hawkes Bay Merlot and Freixenet Prosecco D.O.C.
“Obviously, the more expensive the bottles you choose, the more you save.”
Join Facebook groups
The savvy saver also recommends that fans of Asda join Facebook groups to keep in the know about the latest bargains in-store.
Eilish said: “I recommend joining the Latest Deals Facebook Group to find out about the latest deals and new launches in store.
“Every day, more than 250,000 deal hunters share their latest bargain finds and new releases.
“For example, recently a member shared a picture of Asda’s new Barbie range spotted in store.
“Another member shared the bargain outdoor plants she picked up, including roses for 47p, blackcurrant bushes for 14p and topiary trees for 14p.”
Another had the same experience, commenting: ”In my ASDA, they’re full price.”
”It’s so strange how it’s not all asdas even though it’s the same stock,” a shopper wrote.
Whatever you’re buying, it’s always a good idea to shop around to find the best deal.
You can compare prices on websites like Google shopping, which is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web.
Idealo is another website that lets you compare prices between retailers.
All shoppers need to do is search for the item they need and the website will rank them from the cheapest to the most expensive one.
