I didn't know you could do that with container candles. Maybe I could try that with older ones that are burnt out but still have wax in them. I have done leftover wax from votive candles in a cup on the coffee burner. It works well for a long while and then kind of loses it's scent. Mmm, I bet those candles do smell good. It would probably make me hungry too.
Momofgems, good luck with your frugalness today. I hope things work out for your dh.
Have a nice afternoon,everyone!
