Discount Soy Jar Candles

Discount soy jar candles can be found online, at craft sales, and in retail stores. If you're good at sniffing out a bargain or haggling for a better price, you'll have a lot of success finding these candles at reduced costs.

All candles are made from wax. The most popular types of wax for jar candle making are paraffin and beeswax; hard waxes that burn quickly and create black soot on the inside of the jar. Soy wax is a softer medium that burns more slowly and creates a small amount of white soot, which will not be easily visible inside the jar.

While all candle retailers will have sales on their products, there are certain times of the year when it's more likely that you'll find soy jar candles at a discount. At the end of each season and after a major holiday, seasonal candles are often reduced in price to clear them out and make room for new scents.

Some online retailers who specialize in selling discount products. Many of these carry a wide assortment of different items, while others focus on candles and candle making supplies. Some good places to look for soy candles are:

• Bell-A-Roma Candle Distributor
• Candlewacks
• Overstock.com
• BizRate.com (compare prices at a variety of online retailers)

You can easily hunt for discount soy jar candles online by doing a search. Many retailers will advertise upcoming sales in their newsletters, which will arrive in your e-mail inbox. When you find a candle store online that you like, sign up for their newsletters to be alerted to when your favorite items will be on sale.

Online candle shops that carry soy jar candles include:

• Timeless Candles
• Aromatherapy Candles
• Village Craft and Candle (Canada)

Craft fairs can be a great place to find discounted soy candles. Many candle makers will put their overstocks or products that they've discontinued on sale. Look for a small display of "odds and ends," or a basket or box full of candles away from the main displays. The added bonus of buying directly from a candle maker is that you can try to haggle for a deal if you're purchasing your candles in quantity.

Retail stores have the same types of seasonal sales as online shops do, so be sure to stop by after a holiday or just before a change in season to get some great deals on scented jar candles.

Soy candles are often touted as being more natural and earth-friendly than their paraffin counterparts. While this is true for the wax itself, there are usually additives to candles that can change this claim. Colored dyes, scents, and even the coating on a wick can drastically change the properties of the candles, depending on the types of additives used. If you're concerned about the ingredients in a soy candle and want to make sure it is truly earth-friendly, ask the candle maker or candle company for more details on the additives.

Soy jar candles can take a while to burn and melt enough wax to disperse their scent. The smaller the width of the candle, the faster the scent will start to fill the air.

Soy jar candles are a fun and practical addition to your home. Use them for aromatherapy, in gift baskets, or try making them yourself!
