Yankee candles are being flogged for £3 at your local supermarket – and they aren’t even the rubbish Christmas leftovers

So it's no wonder fans of the scented classics are 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.

Melanie took to the on Facebook to share a snap of the two she'd managed to nab in Tesco - creamy coconut and cosy cotton.

";Yankee candles £3 at Tesco (had loads!)" she wrote alongside the picture.

And other shoppers quickly took to the comments section to weigh in, with many admitting they were already planning a trip to their local supermarket on the hunt for the bargain buys.

"Which Tesco?" one person asked.

To which Melanie replied: "Eastbourne, but I presume it's all stores that sell them."

"Let’s go tomorrow lol," another added, tagging a friend.

"Keep a lookout for the coconut one," a third instructed a pal.

"Love a Yankee me....not that I've got loads or out," someone else said.

"Like me after Christmas - I went mad looking and getting more," another admitted.

"I have the Coconut one, smells good!" someone else wrote.

However, another pointed out that there's a reason the candles Melanie found were so cheap.

And that's because they're actually from Yankee's Home Inspiration range, and retail at full price for around £6.

"Not the original Yankee candles," they wrote.
