My wife and I love scented candles but the cheap ones burn like shit and tunnel really bad, where the expensive ones are…expensive. we use scented waxes sometimes but we like having the flame.
Is there some little-known marketplace or website that I can get good candles at, affordable?

TJMaxx, TKMaxx, whatever it’s called where you are. Also good for fancy hand soap.
Not somewhere I had considered looking but we have one nearby, I’ll check it out

You can buy some pre-waxed wicks and melt the remainder of tunneled candles to make smaller ones with the leftover wax.
Also, check out Etsy, many more price points available on there than I see in stores.
To fix tunnelled candles, maybe try wrapping them in foil to help heat the outer edges and level them out
This is a neat idea, I’ll give it a shot next time we have some!
Make your own
I was actually looking in to that last night. I’ll probably try it once but I do wonder if the time it would take would be worth the money saved.
It depends on a lot of factors. How serious you are into candles, how much money you make/have/want to save, and if there are any scents you want that are hard to find as candles but available as oils
There’s also verifying that you have the right oils. There are some scented oils that aren’t meant to be burnt
