   I loooove Sonoma good candles! Hands down it’s as good as BBW! So many scents to choose from, last long and smell is wonderful and intense. I used to go with BBW all the time but after discovering Sonoma goods for life – not anymore. I never looked back either!

   Thanks so much for this post!!! I mindlessly am a BBW devotee and always wait until they are on sale, but often run out of candles and feel I have to “go without” until the next great sale onlinees around. I’m definitely open to these other options and can’t wait to hear feedback on which ones to try!!! This site is my go-to for trusted opinions. Thanks for all you do!

   Aldi also has BBW knock offs around Christmas for 3.99 I think, I know under 5 dollars for sure. I bought a campfire one and a warmed vanilla- both burned well and long and smelt strong and amazing! My problem with candles is that they burn up quickly or not properly and there is no wick but a bunch of wax left. Just my 2 cents! Plus I don’t feel guilty buying them on such a tight budget at such a great price.

  Here’s how to ensure not much wax gets left behind:
  1. Before relighting a candle, simply break the used up burned wick. It should easily onlinee off with your fingers. Keeping the wick close to the candle surface is key to allow the surround wax to melt evenly.
  2. Burn candles for 2-3 hrs max. Blow out, then let them reharden for a few minutes. Light them back up.

  Cut up the leftover wax and put it in a tart warmer. I do it all the time with mine.

  I was also happy with my Aldi candle purchase. I loved both the smell (White Gardenia) and how evenly it burned. I was disappointed that they are seasonal, since I planned on purchasing more. That’s a disadvantage of falling in love with an Aldi product. Here today, gone tomorrow.

  The most important part to avoid candle tunneling is to always burn the candle long enough that the wax melts across the entire surface before blowing it out.

   I’ve tried the Sonoma candles and wasn’t very happy with them, I thought the pineapple and the strawberry lemonade smelt waxy.

  If you have large wax warmer like sentcy
  and you have just about used up your 3 wicks put them on wax warmer. Linger lasting and no mess.

   Wait? What was the verdict? Lina, if you bought them all which brand did you think smelled the best? Was there a clear winner? This post kept me hanging!

  I agree! I wanted reviews of the candles. Honestly, this post does me no good without reviews. I don’t care if they look like BBW if they don’t smell as good or for as long.

  Obviously, you both didn’t read the post correctly. She said she went to a few stores and 3 wick candles. She didn’t say she bought all the candles. onlinee on, you really thought she was going to buy ALL the 3 wick candles and review them for us. That’s why at the end of the post she asked for anyone with their opinions to post.

  We actually did test out all of these candles to see how they burned and how strong the scent was. We wanted to make sure we were making good reonlinemendations. And although it’s too hard to pick a clear winner, we can say these are all really great options that burn well and filled up our houses with scent. Candle scent is kind of a personal opinion, so it’s hard to give specific scent reonlinemendations, but we think if you grab one of these candles in your favorite scent, you’ll be pleased with it!!

   I also like to check my local Big Lots to see what kind of candles they have in stock. The scents are usually not as strong as the BBW candles, but I’ve found some really good ones for $5 or less.

    I love BBW too! But, in an effort to cut back on my candle addiction 🙋🏻‍♀️ and my budget I have tried the Walmart, and just bought one from Walgreens and have been very pleased.

    Personally I went through so many candle trials that I won’t stray from BBW again. I tried a Walmart cheap candle and the wick let soot settle over the whole room, it was disgusting! It took me burning it a few times to put two and two together that the candle was leaving my house a dirty mess. This past weekend at BBW I snagged 4 candles for $30 after sale and coupon – but it’s worth the extra cost to me for them. The cheap candles just don’t cut it for me based on past experiences.

    Bath and body works are the BEST!!. Right now I have about 30 candles all different seasons and I just keep buying more. I just love them so much. I have tried different brands but nothing is like my bath and body candles.

    I love all the candles listed above. Also the jar candles from Michaels are great! They have some wonderful seasonal scents, burn a long time and are very affordable. Sometimes on sale for 3 or even 4 for $10 and you can us a 25% off coupon. I try to stock up at the start of the seasons.

  What’s the name of the candles at Michaels?

  Marshall’s have some very good smelling candles also. I am a B&BW Candle Freak. My home shelves are stocked but with one scent…”Mahogany Teakwood High Intensity”. This is their only scent that onlinees “high intensity”. I buy every time they go on sale for $12.50 and use $10 off coupon. Still expensive though. My home is about 2700 sqft and 1 candle does the trick. Marshall’s candles are the only other that onlinees close.
  TIP: once my candles burn down to just wax. I but the jar in a pot of boiling water to melt. Remove the burned down wicks and pour the wax into a storage container. I wash/keep the B&BW Jars and Lids. I have a big storage container full of wax that smells amazing. JUST NEED THE WICKS. WHERE CAN I BUY SOME???

  Or you can just purchase a plug in or tea light wax warmer and melt the wax in there. They can be found at most big box, specialty stores and craft stores with candles and wax melts.

    I love BBW candles and Sonoma candles!! Although theses other places have Amazing prices, the scents in the candles don’t last as long as BBW candles.. BBW candles have the scented oil that is mixed throughout which is why you wil always have that delicious scent, while the other ones have the scented oil on the top layer, giving you that awesome scent only for a shorter period.

    Walmart mainstays brand is amazing. It has a scent that covers the most area in my house. Sometimes for certain scents there are gift packs with 2 large jar and 2 smaller candles for 9.99. My personal fav is mulled cider!

    I’m a die hard BBW candle girl… I’m also a clearance/deal hunter and couponer! Last year a fellow couponer told me about Aldis candles being a killer BBW knock off! I literally rolled my eyes, but thought for $3.99 what do I have to lose. I couldn’t believe how good those candles were… do NOT sleep on them. The only downside is, they are seasonal so u gotta stock up during Christmas. But they are so worth it and wayyyy more affordable. Now, that I know about these I’m going to buy a years worth when they roll them back out.. I may get a few at the candle sale at BBW this year but I’m not going to go crazy like used too. The Aldi candles are just as good…. smell awesome, burn evenly, long lasting scent. U really can’t ask for more.
