Yankee Candle Wax Melts

Read Reviews of Yankee Candle Wax Melts. They smell fantastic. Throw is fantastic too, unlike the Yankee Candle wax tarts. They're quite expensive though, and use deceptive packaging to make you think you're getting more wax than you are.

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, like when 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 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.

Walmart has been coming out with fewer and fewer new scents since 2018, when there were something like 25 new scents in both the spring and fall, as well as a couple of holiday scents. But in 2019 there were only 5 new spring scents, 5 new fall scents, and no holiday scents. And only 3 new spring scents in 2020. However, Meijer stores did come out with 10 new spring scents (which I did not review).

	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, especially in 2019-2020.
