Tealights

Essenchill

What are peoples opinions on the best value tealights available? I used to rely on the tealights in packs of 100 from Ikea, however the last batch seemed a reduced quality and the burning time didn't seem to be as long as before. I've mistakenly bought a pack of them from Tesco in the past and they don't last long at all - where are best best value to be found (not the cheapest, but the ones that are the best price for the quality!) -any suggestions?

I akways use ones from Wilkos. Can't remember the price but they're not much and burn well!

I was curious to know this too we used to like the one's morrisons used to sell but they had stopped selling them, then we bought a load of reduced ones from wilko's but they weren't all that good, maybe that was why they were reducing them, I don't know what there's are like now, but we bought a pack of 30 today from homebargains for about £1.29 (i think) it says on the pack that they last 4-5 hours they seem to be going well so far, I was talking to a woman in homebargains who recommended these to me over the wilko ones as she thought that they last longer so we thought we would buy quality over quantity!

I also liked the Ikea one's but thats a good drive for us to get there, I don't mind when we are up that way

I would like to here what others are using too

Thanks Emma, £1.29 for 30 seems a little steep, but if they're decent I'd agree - and for quality rather than going through a pack of 100 faster than the 30 it would make sense!

Oh we dont have a Home Bargains anywhere near us so Wilkos will have to do for me!

I find the Ikea ones good value, stocked up with several hundred this summer while they were on offer. Also got some bags of 100 for £1 each this summer in the Matalan sale which are definitely value for money - summer is often a good time to stock up ( I use an awful lot of tealights to help warm rooms up).
