Apropos of yesterday's post on candles, I went to IKEA this week to replenish the tealight and pillar candle stock and noticed we're being ripped off in a Swedish manner.
On the left is one of the tealights I bought in IKEA last winter. On the right is this year's offering.
Instead of a 4 or 5 hour burn, I'll now be lucky to get 2.5 hours from a tealight. Why can't they just be honest and increase the price to reflect increases in cost, rather than increasing the price AND reducing the size.
With a candle, I'm more concerned with the burn time than the price - a bit like a cremation....
