14 Ways to Save Money on Yankee Candles (#14 is Clever!)

So, if you’re like me, and love the brand’s candles, what can you do?

Well, the good news is, you don’t have to do without.

There are actually many ways that you can get your hands on the brand’s scents without having to pay a lot.

Below, we cover a multitude of ways that you can get these candles cheaper.

So, if you’re wondering how to save money on Yankee Candles, then read on.

1. Shop for Large Jars on Amazon

Our first tip is to look on Amazon.

There are tons of Amazon hacks that’ll save you money on candles (and any item really).

Often, you’ll find the large candle jars at a much lower price.

For example, at the time of writing, a large classic jar candle in the scent Pink Sands cost $29.50 on the official Yankee website. But, on Amazon, this same candle costs just $19.99 – and if you have Prime, then shipping is free.

So, you’re saving almost $10!

This is the case for other scents too. So, if you’re a Prime member, then we’d highly recommend shopping for the large jar candles on Amazon.

2. Consider Votive Candles

This is something that I regularly do.

Yankee Candles are great, but sometimes, especially if you’re buying them online, it’s hard to know what scents you are going to like.

Handily enough, Yankee offers samplers, called votive candles.

These are small candles that have a burn time of around 15 hours.

What’s great about these votive candles is that you can try lots of different scents, without having to spend a lot of money.

So, rather than buying 3 small jar candles for $11 each – which works out at $33, you could get around 16 different votive candles at $2 each, for the same price.

Yankee features them on its website, and while they usually cost about $2 each, sometimes there’s a sale on and you can get them for just a dollar.

So, this is a great way to save on Yankee scents. You get a votive for a dollar and don’t waste $30 on a large candle that you might not enjoy the scent of.

3. Check Amazon for Votive Candles

Going back to Amazon again, you can find some fantastic deals on votive candles on there.

What’s great about the platform is that you can find votive assortments. You don’t get to choose the scents you get. However, this is a great way to try new scents that you might have overlooked had you chosen them yourself.

I’ve gotten votive samplers much cheaper on Amazon than on the Yankee website, especially when you factor in the cost of shipping.

On the Yankee website, if you spend less than $100, then you have to pay around $5 for shipping. But, since Amazon provides free shipping to Prime members, and a lot of the votive candles are Prime eligible, this further lowers the cost per candle.

So, if you, like me, are a Prime member, which you should be if you ever order from Amazon, then this is a great way to save.

Of course, this won’t always be the case. Sometimes, the votive candles will be cheaper on the actual Yankee website.

4. Don’t Discount the Brand’s Website

Sure Amazon and other websites can be a great place to shop for the brand’s candles at a low price.

However, this doesn’t mean that you should discount the official Yankee Candle website. It often has items on sale.

One of its best sales is the semi-annual sale – where you can get up to 75% off.

For example, at the time of writing, there’s a sale on large candles, such as April Showers, Autumn Bouquet, Caramel Apple Cake and Blue Summer Sky. You can get many of them for $14.75, rather than $29.50

And, there was a 3 for $10 deal on small jar candles.

Plus, when I shopped there, after I put one item in my shopping cart, I qualified for a discounted candle.

The brand frequently features great deals and discounts on its official website, so it’s always worth checking out.

5. Consider the Retiring Fragrances Section

Yankee Candles has a lot of scents – that’s why we love it. But, not all of them stick around. Some of them are discontinued.

And, you can get these soon to be retired candles at a low price.

Handily enough, Yankee Candles has a full section on its website just for the scents that it’s going to retire. You can take a look at the retiring candles here.

In this section, you can get:

• Large candles for $14.75, rather than $29.50.
• Medium candles for $12.50, rather than $25.
• 3 for $10 on small jars.

10. Shop at your local Off-Price Store
