marcuset Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I could be wrong, but the local SuperWalmart replaced the BHG's with a big display of new melts ... a different style clamshell package from Febreeze...as well as larger size jar candles. Their melts were about $3. Found it interesting. Didn't buy any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcuset Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 Unreplenished stock for almost 2 months makes you wonder - the way they were so "hot" for a few years. If true, makes sense. Super cheap sure can't last forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simply fragrant Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 At our local Wally there were no Febreze melts (yet), but there were a ton of new Febreze Candles, 8 oz for 7.97 (wood wick) and a larger double wick that I could not find the price on. You are right, super cheap cannot last forever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angielyn Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I seen this post before, but hadn't looked last time I was at Walmart, I went this morning and they have 3 types at mine. The Febreeze, BHG's and scentsationals and none looks like they were selling out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcuset Posted March 2, 2013 Author Share Posted March 2, 2013 Ah well. Maybe just slimmer pickins around my area for now. I've just been curious how long their super cheap can last. C'est la vie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angielyn Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 C'est la vie.How funny you say that as I just listened to that old 80's song by Robbie Nevil But, I'll keep my eyes open and check again see if and when I notice something missing.

marcuset Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 (edited) Wait a minute, old 80's? Ah....it's all just relative, isn't it? Saw an advertisement on tv the other day that called the original Karate Kid with Ralph Macchio...an old classic. Eh boy. *faint* Thanks for the giggle! :-) Edited March 3, 2013 by marcuset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angielyn Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I know... classic I seen a post on facebook a few days ago how when you think of the 80's you think 10yrs ago... try more like 20yrs ago! Hard to believe isn't it. I'll always be an 80's kid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HorseScentS Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I saw and sniffed the Febreeze candles and melts at Wallyworld today. Very impressive! The melts are very big compared to other clamshells, and less than $3.00. The candle jars are a nifty oval shape if you're looking at them from above, and they have nice wooden lids. The 8 oz has a wood wick and is less than $8.00. The 16 oz is double wicked with regular wicks and is less than $8.00. There's a 22 oz, I think, and it's less than $12.00. They smelled pretty good, and the colors are on trend, the wax is really pretty, not that yucky looking wax like Yan___. Their wax melter is very cute and aprox $9.00.

Anyone interested in a "slightly used" candle business?I can compete with Yan___, but EVERYONE goes to WallyWorld!I knew I should have told my wife she was crazy when she pushed me into opening a candle shop.I don't get out to shop, but my wife does. She's asleep right now, but I'll bet she knows about WM's new candle line. She'd keep it from me as long as possible, because she doesn't want to add more stress in my life. As if we don't have enough to worry about already.Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JI Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 (edited) I just get so depressed going to ww...And speaking of 80s, the students nowadays listen to classic rock etc, whoch is ironic if you think. I onceI made a passing reference to seeing Freddie Mercury's radio ga ga tour and their eyes lit up like saucers...granted it was my first concert. But there is nothing like high school students to make you feel old...(i am a hs teacher - so fossil status is routine).

judys Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Consider quality. i do not display my candles as cheap. The candles at ww are probably from China. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HorseScentS Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 (edited) Consider quality. i do not display my candles as cheap. The candles at ww are probably from China.The Wallyworld candles are all cheap and crummy and probably made in China, and I'm including the Mainstay, BH&G, Paula Dean, Candle Cottage, and all the other brands they carry in that assessment. But the Febreeze air freshening candles that I've burned in the past were very good quality and burned very nicely, except that they've reduced the FO load so they're not as strong as when they first came on the market, and they don't fill the glass as full as they did at first. I haven't tried one of these new Febreeze candles that are for decor instead of air freshening, but they look like a quality candle with thick glass and good quality fragrance, and they're filled more full. They're not on the Febreeze website or the Wallyworld website yet. I should buy one today, and a pack of melts. I almost bought the Almond Sugar ones. I bet they're not as strong as the candles we make, though. Edited March 22, 2013 by HorsescentS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't bring myself to shell out any more dough - not with 60 lbs of wax sitting in my storage ready for me to make my own. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
