Discount Soy Candles
Discount soy candles are a popular alternative to a "regular" discount scented candle. Regular discount candles tend to be made of paraffin wax, which doesn't always burn as cleanly as soy.
That being said, soy wax does normally cost more than paraffin wax. So your goal? To find a good soy candle that has been discounted.
Buying Discount Soy Candles
Soy is known as a fragrance candle, as it holds more scent than regular candle wax. This is a good thing, if you are looking for an aromatic candle.

However, there can still be problems in your discount soy candles; here's what to watch for.
- Excessive scent. I know, this doesn't really seem to be a problem, but it really can be. The reason? If a candle is overloaded in scent, it won't burn cleanly...in other words, soot.
- A tall pillar. Soy is a very soft wax, more suitable for container and votives. Short pillars are also a possibility, but tall pillars very likely have other waxes mixed in. (Which isn't necessarily a problem unless you are wanting only soy wax in the candle.)
- A jar candle that has a very small neck. This can cause two problems -- excess sooting and the candle just not burning right because it doesn't get enough oxygen.
- Tall, narrow jar discount soy candles. Similar to the above, a tall (over 5 inches at the opening) jar candle won't let enough oxygen to the candle once it burns 1/3 to 1/2 of the wax.
So those of some of the things to watch out for, when buying your discount soy candles. As I mentioned before, if you can find excellent-quality soy wax candles at a sale price, you'd get the best of both world.

Discount Yankee Candles are great when you can find them! Whether you find them online, at an outlet store or just on sale in your area, they are a very popular fragranced jar candle.
The Yankee Candle Company had a very interesting beginning, though, so let's take a minute to tell it, before going shopping!
Did you know that the very first candle made by the company founder was made from melted crayons? Michael Kittredge made the candle as a gift for his mother.
Now obviously he moved on to more traditional candle wax, and soon enough, friends and neighbors were asking to buy his creations. Michael began making more and more and finally decided it was time to officially open a business.
With a little help from high school friends Susan Obremski and Donald MacIver, the Yankee Candle Company was born.
The flagship store still exists in South Deerfield, Massachusetts, and as you might guess, it's a popular tourist attraction.
