Aldi shoppers horrified by smell of £1.69 Christmas candles

Supermarket giant Aldi has horrified shoppers with its new Christmas candle range.

The retailer has released four festive candles just in time for Christmas, and they come in four different scents; Pigs in Blankets, Turkey and Stuffing, Mince Pie and Christmas Pudding with Brandy Butter.

The candles cost £1.69 each and are available to buy in stores from Thursday 15 December.

Aldi shared news of the candles on Facebook, but unfortunately, two of the scents didn't go down too well with shoppers.

Posting on social media, Aldi said: "Let's be honest, who wouldn't love a Turkey and Stuffing candle?!In store Thursday!"

The Pigs in Blankets and Turkey and Stuffing candles turned some shoppers' stomachs...unsurprisingly.

Katherine Matthews replied: "I love Aldi but these candles are a big no from me. Cooking and food smells permanently in your house ugh."

Michael Burbury asked: "What next full English candle?"

Joanne Dutton slammed: "Novelty candles are a no for me."

"I guess we should be thankful theres no sprout candle," said Lynsay Jane Doig.

Carla Jackles responded: "This for real?"

Shoppers did, however, seem a bit more enthusiastic about the Mince Pies and Christmas Pudding with Brandy Butter scents.

The candles are available to buy in Aldi stores from today.

Manchester Evening News has contacted Aldi for comment.
