Look at Sainsbury’s in store only they do a pack of 12 best price I managed to find, beats cost co, makro and all other high street stores.
Those ones look bit small and no burn time stated.
Thanks for the link BP I myself like to see preppers post what they find, good or bad.

I just buy the 6 inch twelve packs from Asda or Tesco for my caches, a lady from the candle shop in Yarm told me to keep the boxes wrapped in clingfilm to stop the parafin from evaporating from the candles which ruins them in time.

Ok thats not good
RE: Candles - NorthernRaider - 27 May 2012
Yeah apparently the berst candles use parafin wax as part of the ingrediants and if left exposed to the air the lighter flammamble vapours evaporate and the candle dries out, they still work but not so well and not for as long as they should. I'm only repeating what she told me, I have zero knowledge about candles.

I am going to dig mine out I have stores and some on hand in my bug in box, This might be year two so hope they are not in bad shape, will wrap them tonight.
Just got them out of store, they are boxed in packs of 20 not 12 like I said few posts up, they have burn time of 7 hours each and did cost less than £3, not showing online.
They are pre wrapped in a box covered in cling type film, can't smell anything so all good.
