While Aldi is already known as a great place to grab groceries on a budget, now the supermarket chain is expanding into home goods with a lineup of limited-edition Huntington Home candles. With a look and smell that is similar to far more expensive brands, the new candles help consumers add a touch of luxury to their homes without blowing their budget.
As of May 9th, Aldi will be rolling out Huntington Home candles across its stores. The candles come in a range of fresh scents, including Lime Basil & Mandarin, English Pear & Freesia, and Black Pomegranate. Not only are the scents luxurious, but the candles also come in sleek satin-finished glasses paired with a silver lid and black bow. The design is eerily similar to the UK luxury brand Jo Malone’s candles, which come with much bigger price tags.
With a 45-hour run time and sold for just $6.99 a pop, the budget-friendly candles are ideal for cost-conscious shoppers.
