Wellness has become a growing trend in recent years, with influencers and celebrities making large amounts of cash for flogging candles and incense.
Many wellness products can have hefty price tags, so for those who want to feel good without breaking the bank, Aldi has the perfect solution.
Landing in stores on June 5th, the budget supermarket is launching a selection of "wellbeing inspired" fragrances, with prices starting at as little as £3.99.
The collection includes premium candles, reed diffusers and essential oils, "with each scent crafted to help boost well-being".
The three scents are 'Joyful', a combination of Neroli, Mimosa and Lemon, 'Peace', which features notes of lavender and jasmine, and 'Balance', which features a blend of rose, lime and black pepper.
Aldi's Spa Candle is priced at £3.99, and has been compared to NEOM's Happiness Candle, which is priced at £38, making the budget offering £34 cheaper.
The supermarket is also selling a pack of three essential oils for £3.39, a fraction of the price of NEOM's Happiness Essential Oil Blend, which is priced at £23.
The bargain retailer is also selling a more premium selection of home fragrances, including a Premium Glass Candle for £9.99.
This invigorating candle has been compared to The White Company Tuscan Grove Large Candle, which is priced at £65, making the Aldi candle £55 cheaper.
The premium Aldi candles come in either Bergamot and Vanilla, Lemon & Neroli or Mint & White Tea.
A closer look at Aldi's new Hotel Collection candles and diffusers
The luxurious candles are part of Aldi's Specialbuys range, and can be found in the middle aisle of stores.
Aldi launches new Specialbuys every Thursday and Sunday, and feature everything from beauty dupes to garden bargains.
However, you'll have to be quick if you want to snap the lavish candles up, since as with all Specialbuys, once they're gone, they're gone.
More Aldi Specialbuys
And the candles aren't the only bargains landing at the German discounter this week.
When's the best time to shop at Aldi?
WHEN it comes to shopping at Aldi, the best time to do so depends on what you want to buy.
For reduced items - when shops open
Red sticker items are rare at Aldi's 830 UK stores, but the supermarket says that none of its food goes to waste so there are some to be found - if you're quick.
A spokesman for the supermarket said: "All items are reduced to 50 per cent of the recommend sales price before stores open on their best before or use by dates."
That means you have the best chance of finding reduced food items if you go into stores as soon as it opens.
Opening times vary by shop but a majority open from 7am or 8am. You can find your nearest store's times by using the supermarket's online shop finder tool.
For Specialbuys - Thursdays and Sundays
Specialbuys are Aldi's weekly collection of items that it doesn't normally sell, which can range from pizza ovens to power tools.
New stock comes into stores every Thursday and Sunday, so naturally, these are the best days to visit for the best one-off special deals.
For an even better chance of bagging the best items, head there for your local store's opening time.
Remember: once they're gone, they're gone, so if there's something you really want, visit as early as possible
Aldi has revealed 36 garden essential products, including Crocs dupes.
Prices start at just £1.99 and go up to £19.99, with several top-shelf items for a fraction of the cost you'd pay at big-name stores.
That includes Mini Pruning Shears, scanning at Aldi for just £3.99 — a whopping 65 per cent cheaper than Tesco's price.
Shoppers can also snap up more luxurious items from the bargain chain, like Solar Marrakesh Crook Lanterns for £12.99 — around £17 less than similar ones at Scotts of Stow.
Garden lovers after comfy outdoor footwear might find Aldi's Crocs dupe the perfect fit.
The discount supermarket's Summer Clogs will be flying off the shelves for a mere £3.99.

Make Jamie Oliver's fluffy flourless pancakes for the Bank Holiday in just 10 minutes

If you're looking for a delicious breakfast recipe to whip up over the August Bank Holiday Weekend then look no further - and this pancake recipe is 'not too tricky' to make With the August Bank Holiday fast approaching, it's safe to say brunch is on the cards for many Brits eager to make the absolute most of their extended weekend. If you're entertaining at home rather than venturing out, then here's a scrumptious and speedy breakfast recipe that any visitor would adore. ‌ Jamie Oliver's fluffy flourless pancakes require just 10 minutes to prepare and are classified as "not too tricky" by the celebrity chef. According to instructions given by TV chef Jamie, this recipe produces two portions, but you can adjust it as needed, should you end up with any additional guests. ‌ It comes after a writer claimed 'I tried butter from Tesco, Aldi, Lidl and big brands - and the winner is not Lurpak'. ‌ Publishing the recipe on his official website, Jamie explained: "These simple breakfast pancakes can be made without flour - throw the ingredients in a blender, whiz it up and fry in a pan for breakfast in no time. Easy!" Ingredients 100g porridge oats 100g cottage cheese Two large free-range eggs One tsp baking powder Olive oil or unsalted butter, for frying Topping options One avocado Two free-range eggs Chilli sauce Method Mix the oats, cottage cheese, two eggs, and baking powder in a blender. Whizz until smooth, incorporating a tiny pinch of sea salt and a splash of water if the mixture appears too thick. Warm a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat with a small quantity of oil or a small knob of butter, reports the Express. ‌ Spoon dollops of the batter into the pan, preparing in batches if required. Cook each side for approximately two minutes, or until golden brown. If preferred, serve the pancakes garnished with sliced avocado, a fried egg, and chilli sauce, or personalise with your favourite toppings. Finally, sit down, enjoy, and relax—preferably outside in the garden if the sun comes out. Looking ahead to the weekend forecast, the Met Office predicts both misery and sunshine, depending on where you live. Some parts of the country will be basking in glorious weather, while others may face the knock-on effects of a hurricane currently blowing across the US. The national forecaster said: "High pressure is likely to be the dominant feature at first bringing widely fine and dry weather whilst a generally northerly flow leads to rather cool conditions. ‌ "This will be increasingly eroded from the west as frontal systems start to move in from the Atlantic through the weekend, leading to more changeable conditions. "Whilst this is happening, a deep area of low pressure is likely to develop in the North Atlantic, linked to Hurricane Erin. This likely progresses towards the UK through the early part of the week. The changeable period will likely continue through the last week of August, especially in the north and west, with a small chance of widely wetter and windier weather developing. The evolution of this is highly uncertain, though."

They come in a range of three different scents SCENT-SATIONAL 'Autumn is in the air' Aldi shoppers are unable to resist new candles & there's one scent that is 'incredible' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ALDI shoppers have been racing to stores to get their hands on some new candles that have hit stores, including one scent that is "incredible". The budget retailer is already gearing customers up for a cosy autumn with this new collection. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Autumn Candles from Aldi are available in three different scents Credit: Mrs T O'Neill, Facebook 2 The same scents are available as a Hurrican Candle Credit: Mrs T O'Neill, Facebook One enthusiastic shopper posted her find of the candles on social media, and wrote: "I caved. "I had to buy the fallen leaves smelt incredible!" She added: "Aldi smashing the autumn candles wow!" Aldi's autumn season is here From the Hotel Collection of candles at Aldi, the "Fallen Leaves" is on sale for either £19.99 as a Hurricane candle or a £3.99 Autumn Candle for those on a budget. This "incredible" candle is said to have scents of autumn apples, amber and musk. Included in this is also the "Pumkin Spice" scent, with warm cinnamon, caramel and clove. The higher end Hurricane candles from the range come in a 2.1 kg glass jar for a more sophisticated look, and can burn for approximately 140 hours. But those looking for a cheaper option can get either of these scents as simple Autumn Candles for £3.99, which come in a 300g pot. They contain a twin wick candle that burns for approximate 49 hours. At this size, there is also the choice of a "Vanilla Pumpkin" candle, which is scented with cinnamon, maple and nutmeg. All upcoming 'Aldi Finds' in the middle aisle next week – including portable chargers, power toothbrushes & dryer balls Both the Hurricane and Autumn candle version are said to "create a beautiful ambience", and are at Aldi stores whilst stocks last. Brits are gearing up for the cosy season The post on Facebook raving about the new candle range from Aldi received a number of reactions, comments and likes. One user responded: "Oh no... Now I am going to have to go and have a smell. "I'm a sucker for an autumn candle." Another added: "Same i bought the autumn leaves. "Saving them until September." A third wrote: "Aldi autumn collection is lovely and pumpkin is my favourite scent I began melting my own last night." Do the Aldi's candles really smell good? Fabulous Associate Editor, Rebecca Miller, popped into store to pick up a few! The Hurricane Candle might set you back £20 but it's huge and makes a brilliant centrepiece on a table, or perfect for filling large spaces with incredible fragrance. I particularly lovely Fallen Leaves, but Pumpkin Spice was irresistible too. What's more, they look gorgeous too. The Autumn Jar Candle could be mistaken for a Yankee Candle, but not when you look at the price - only £2.99 for a 510g jar! It comes in three fragrances: Pecan Waffle, Acorn Oak and Apple Orchard. Personally, Pecan Waffle was a little too sweet for my likening, whilst Acorn Oak was musky and heavy. The Textured Pumpkin Candles, £4.99, caught my eye down the Middle Aisle for their cute decorative pot. Coming in the same fragrances as the Autumn Jar Candle, the pots can be used after the candle has run out - making it a cute decor piece for autumn. More autumn favourites This latest collection of Autumn candles comes after the bargain retailer also released some cosy Halloween buys for the season. Included in this is a £4.99 Pumpkin Candle and some Wooden Lid Autumn Reed Diffuser priced at £3.99. They became available as part of Aldi's Specialbuys from August 17.
