At $3.93, these are almost double the cost of the ScentSationals and Better Homes & Gardens wax melts at Walmart, which are $2.00 each. The packaging is bigger, so you think you're getting more. However, if you look at the weight, you'll see that at 2.6 oz., the Yankee Candle wax cubes are pretty much the same weight as the 2.5 oz. SS and BHG wax melts. The wax cubes are spaced apart, so you're paying for more plastic. Also, the wax does not reach the top of the pack, but is indented so it falls quite a bit below the top. These are the same deceptive packaging techniques used by many manufacturers. You buy a bottle of shampoo and then discover that the bottle is only 3/4 full and the bottom is concave.

Marketing ploys aside, these are fantastic scents, most of which are the same scents as Yankee Candles' regular candle and tart scents. However, the throw is much better than regular Yankee Candle tarts because they use a different type of wax (more similar to the Walmart wax consistency, rather than regular Yankee tart wax which is dry and crumbly). In fact, the throw on the Yankee Candle wax melts from Walmart rivals that of other Walmart wax melts! At double the price though, they're quite expensive, so buy them only if you really love the scent.
 | Fantastic scents, and the only way to get actual Yankee Candle scents in a wax melt form. Most are very strong throwers that rival the throw of ScentSationals and Better Homes & Gardens wax melts. |

 | At $3.93, they're quite expensive. And they use deceptive packaging to make you think you're getting more wax, when you're just paying for more plastic. Oddly shaped clamshell is hard to store with regular rectangular wax melts. Not available at all Walmarts, and not as much of a selection as SS and BHG wax melts. |
