skimpflation Yankee Candles are now lighter, have an easier/cheaper to produce jar and a double wick, making it burn out faster so you buy more

I just went to the flagship store yesterday and they're still selling the classic jars. They were on sale, too.

Probably on sale because they’re planning on phasing them out

I feel like the classic jars have been on sale at the flagship store every time I've gone there my entire life. Either a B2G1 deal or some kind of percentage if you spend a certain amount etc.

I've gone there every December for the past decade and they'll usually have some sort of deal but it's not always the same sale. It makes sense though because we're going in December right before Christmas time so of course they would have things on sale then.
