Don’t miss out on these paraffin twist taper candles. Not only are they incredibly cheap at under $1 apiece, but they come highly reviewed from Walmart shoppers. 

“I really wanted a set of twisted taper candles but didn’t want to pay the prices that a lot of other retailers were asking,” wrote Meredith in a five-star review. “I decided to give these a try because, let’s face it, under a dollar a piece is hard to pass up. I bought the taupe color and couldn’t be happier. They are fantastic quality and are unscented, which is perfect. The color is a nice, light tan/beige taupe color, not as dark as pictured and no grey undertones, which is what I hoped for. I’m pretty jazzed about these, especially knowing what a good deal I got.”
