ALDI's $20 West Elm Candle Dupe Is Finally Back—and It's Still the Best Deal Around

ALDI's $20 West Elm Candle Dupe Is Finally Back—and It's Still the Best Deal Around

Rustic Carved Wood Candle

Before bringing it back, ALDI upgraded the candle. The enormous 10-wick candle now has plenty of color and aromatics.


There are two versions of the Rustic Carved Wood Candle available at ALDI right now. Each has a different finish: a dark stain and distressed white. The white trough candle smells like Dark Vanilla and Sandalwood. The dark candle has notes of Salted Orchid and Driftwood.



The wax of each candle is sprinkled with dried botanical bits. The white wooden trough candle features bright pink and peach-colored dried flower petals, while the darker candle features blue, purple, and teal aromatics. Both cozy candles are made with a soy wax blend.

A Great Deal for Bulk Candles

The Rustic Carved Wood Candle retails for just under $20. While the exact weight of this candle isn’t specified, the new trough candles are similar to past versions ALDI has released, which have been around 32 ounces. It’s likely you’ll get at least 130 hours of burn time out of the trough candle, though it could last for much longer.



Most candles over 30 ounces can easily retail for close to $100. By snagging ALDI’s trough candle instead, you’ll get a major discount.
