"The limited-edition Burning Cash Candle features soft smokey undertones and notes of inconsistent prices and buyer's remorse (AKA like shopping anywhere other than ALDI)," read a description on the Aldi website.
And since you're already dealing with soaring prices, the candle is absolutely free! Beginning on Wednesday, May 21 at 8am CT, you can claim two free candles while supplies last. Winners will be notified and receive shipping details via email during the week of May 26.
If you're wondering why the grocery store is giving away two candles that's because the second candle is meant to be gifted to a friend that needs to make the switch to Aldi.

Bark Box CEO apologizes for employee's internal message comparing PRIDE collection to MAGA toys
The CEO of BarkBox, Matt Meeker, has apologized after an internal message leaked. The message compared Pride products to hypothetical MAGA items, calling both "politically charged." Meeker called it "disrespectful and hurtful" and said the company has no plans to remove its Pride offerings. The CEO of BarkBox, the company that offers a monthly subscription service for boxes of dog toys and treats, has issued a public apology for a "disrespectful and hurtful" internal message that leaked on social media. A screenshot of the message that circulated on Reddit described the decision to immediately pause paid ads and lifecycle marketing pushes for the company's Pride kit. "While celebrating Pride is something we may value, we need to acknowledge that the current climate makes this promotion feel more like a political statement than a universally joyful moment for all dog people," the message reads in part. "If we wouldn't feel comfortable running a promotion centered around another politically charged symbol (like a MAGA-themed product), it's worth asking whether this is the right moment to run this particular campaign." "Right now, pushing this promo risks unintentionally sending the message that 'we're not for you' to a large portion of our audience," the message concludes. BarkBox confirmed to Business Insider the authenticity of the screenshot. The author of the message is unclear. Founder and CEO Matt Meeker apologized for the "disrespectful and hurtful" message in an Instagram post on Wednesday. "I do not agree with the content of the message. It wasn't good, it doesn't reflect our values, and I'm deeply sorry that it happened," he said. "We stand by the products," he wrote about the Pride kits, noting that the company had no plans to remove them. While the company has donated a portion of profits from its Pride collection to an organization supporting LGBTQ people in past years, it'll donate 100% of the revenue from the collection this year, he added. The company's Pride collection is available as an optional add-on for BarkBox and Super Chewer subscribers, and has been offered for the past four years. The initial pullback on Pride isn't unique to BarkBox. Some of the biggest retailers in the US have walked back their support for diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts, with some taking cues from the Trump administration's stance on the matter. Target last year scaled back its Pride Month collection after receiving backlash from conservatives over the merchandise in prior years. In late November, Walmart announced it was ending some of its DEI initiatives and taking down some LGBTQ-related merchandise from its website. Read the original article on Business Insider

US Sen. Joni Ernst hires Iowa native as campaign manager to run 2026 reelection effort
Republican U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst has hired a campaign manager to run her reelection operation as Iowa's 2026 Senate race heats up. Ernst, who is serving her second term, has not formally announced a reelection campaign, but the hire is a clear signal that she's building an operation to run for a third term. Bryan Kraber will lead Ernst's reelection bid as campaign manager, Ernst announced Wednesday, June 4, in a news release. Kraber has worked for more than a decade in Iowa politics, including for Ernst's 2020 campaign. "I'm thrilled to have Bryan Kraber leading my re-election campaign," Ernst said in a statement. "A native Iowan, Bryan knows our state, he knows how to win, and he's ready to hit the ground running. His experience, energy and grit will be an incredible asset as we fight for Iowans in the U.S. Senate." In a statement, Kraber called Ernst "a tireless advocate for Iowans and a leader I deeply respect." "I'm honored to lead her campaign, and I'm ready to get to work to ensure a big win in 2026 — so she can continue to fight for Iowa's farmers, families and veterans and make Washington squeal," he said. Ernst has faced several days of national scrutiny over comments she made about Medicaid at a town hall in Parkersburg last week. As Ernst was answering a question about the proposed Medicaid cuts in President Donald Trump's tax package, an audience member shouted, "people will die!" Ernst replied by saying, "People are not — well, we all are going to die. For heaven's sakes, folks." Ernst later posted a sarcastic apology video on Instagram. Ernst has already drawn two Democratic challengers, Knoxville Chamber of Commerce director Nathan Sage and state Rep. J.D. Scholten, D-Sioux City. State Sen. Zach Wahls, D-Coralville, and state Rep. Josh Turek, D-Council Bluffs, have also previously said they are considering running. One Republican challenger, Joshua Smith, has announced a campaign against Ernst for the GOP nomination. Ernst recently announced that her annual Roast and Ride fundraiser — which she used to formally announce her 2020 reelection bid — will be held Oct. 11.
