I'm a candle snob, I can admit it. If I'm in a store, inevitably it's the most expensive candle that catches my eye. And my nose. But since it's not always possible to purchase Henri Bendel or Jo Malone, I've been on the lookout for some cheaper alternatives lately. So far, the one I like the most is Glade, which kind of makes me laugh because that name will always remind me of trash bags and garbage is the last thing I want to think about when shopping. Glade candles are really cheap (seriously, REALLY cheap - they're like $3.50 a candle - that's less than a latte!) and they come in a variety of scents. My favorites that I've tried so far are Clean Linen (which smells similar to Yankee Candles' Clean Cotton), Suddenly Spring (it smells sort of like when it rains in April) and Strawberries & Cream (I'm pretty sure you can figure out what this one smells like). They also have 2 in 1 candle fragrances that combine two different scents, like Hazelnut Cappucino & Espresso Bean. I wouldn't say that these are the strongest candles I've ever burned, but one still scents my entire bedroom and they're so cheap that you can buy as many as you want, so I guess that's a fair trade off. Plus, you can find them at most drugstores, so they make those annoying trips to pick up your prescriptions a little more fun. Okay, a lot more fun. Now if they could just get rid of their annoying commercials where the woman pretends they're french and refers to them as Gladay, I could really get behind this product.
