We buy six candles a year at an average cost of £7.40 each, according to research by The British Independent Retail Association.

That means we’re spending nearly £50 per year — and if you have a Yankee Candle obsession, you’ll be forking out a lot more.

Here, I can help you save as I shine a light on luxury candles for less . . .

STATURE OF LIBERTY

I love the gingerbread-scented 18oz glass jar Liberty candle from studio.co.uk as it’s a great dupe of the Yankee Candle one and it’s only £10.99.

But I was even more pleased to see Home Bargains has a Wickford & Co large gingerbread candle for just £2.99, which smells exactly the same.

SAVE: £8

PILLAR TALK

Did you see my recent Shopalong video at Wilko? Check it out at ­facebook.com/thesunsavers and you may spy some of the store’s gorgeous luxury ­candles.

Its scented pillar candles are £4 each, but currently you can get two for £6. If you like a sweet scent, the vanilla one is my favourite.

Asda also has some delicious spiced-berry-scented candles for just £2 each.

SAVE: £2 if you buy two candles at Wilko

YANKEE DODDLE

If you really can’t kick your Yankee habit, I have some ways to score a discount. Right now you can save ten per cent on selected Christmas Yankee Candle gift sets and candles online at temptationgifts.com.

I like the Magical Christmas Morning Advent Calendar wreath, now £19.99 down from £24.99. You can also save 25 per cent on the Magical Christmas Morning gift set, £37.49 reduced from £49.99. 

And don’t forget to check out Boots. Some Yankee Candles are part of its festive 3-for-2 deal which has already started!

SAVE: £12.50 on the gift set

CASH IN

Enjoy cashback by shopping directly with online retailers.

Candlesdirect.co.uk stocks leading brands for a little less and if you purchase via Quidco.com you will currently receive 13.2 per cent cashback. I like the Woodwick caramel toasted sesame jar candle for £9.49, which has a £9.99 RRP.

SAVE: up to 13.2 per cent and around 50p per candle
