MANY people have been ditching candles in favour of wax melts.
The wick-less, scented pieces of wax that melt over warm water tend to be cheaper and more often than not will last longer in your home.
So it's no wonder one shopper named Claire Preece hurried online after snapping up a 12-pack for just 9p during a visit to her local Farmfoods.
Taking to Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, she shared a photo of the Love Hearts strawberry wax melts in question.
Alongside the image, she penned: "Only 9p a pack in Farmfoods – the manger said it’s the same price in all stalls there was boxes and boxes of them in Shrewsbury."
Many people prefer wax melts to candles because they're a great way to test out a scent on the cheap before committing to it – and for 9p, you really can't go wrong!
