Asda have been selling Yankee products for some time now so everyone must know about them, right? Well it wasn't until the other week me and my mum popped into Asda and she did not believe that they actually sold them until I pointed them out. This lead me to think, well there must be a heck of a lot more people out there who don't know about this fantastic bargain?!
Left: 'Real Yankee Wax Tart Right: Yankee for Asda Wax Tart
First thing is first, the yankee packaging in Asda does look very alike the usual packaging in other stores, but I must say there are some differences you should look out for! On the Asda version there is a tiny print that indicates 'Yankee home' at the very top, a much smaller brand indicator than the original Yankee label. The larger Asda jars are also a different shape so don't be fooled (I believe they have change the shape for the Asda model as the glass is cheaper to produce). On a positive note: the candles burn exactly the same, they last just as long and have as much fragrance as the official yankee candles. The only 'true' differences are the price and packaging, nothing to get into a fuss about!
Tarts : £1
Samplers : £1 (occasionally£2?)
Large Jars : £6.99
Admittedly the range in Asda is very limited but they have tried to cater for most people. They have sweet, fresh and floral products which I can ensure you at least one will satisfy you! They also change up the 'smells' for each season too which is a great positive.
So... If you're looking for yankee candle, but can't quiet afford the 'real deal' pop down to Asda and pick yourself up a handful of tarts, a couple of samples or even a jumbo candle for a fraction of the price! I have also spotted Yankee accessories and in some stores even 'gift sets', equalling the perfect Christmas gift for those on a smaller budget.
