Cheapest place to buy candles?

Hi all

Its that time of year again. Does anyone know a good place to buy candles (cathedral, scented or others types) from? I presume the cheaper candles dont last anywhere near as long as the more expensive candles, so sometimes its a false economy. 

Thanks

    It totally depends on your taste, plain candles are probably cheaper at the supermarkets.  Scented candles, I would only ever buy Yankees but don’t get caught out by buying the budget Home Inspirations Yankees, premium Yankees all the way and I buy mine from yankeebundles

    Thanks @sarah1972 , thats useful info!

    I should have been more specific: I really just want cathedral candles that lost a long time. I like the ambiance of it. I wonder if the 'burn times' are factual.

    Have you thought about the battery-operated ones? I know it's not the same but they look very realistic.

    Sadly I have never found any that look realistic, they never get the wick right
