A SHOPPER has urged fellow homeware fans to not waste their money on a Sainsbury's candle that's gone viral on social media.
Like many stores, supermarket Sainsbury's is also running a huge sale to get rid of their old stock - and one of the affordable items everyone's been raving about is The Morning Coffee candle.
Originally retailing for £6.50, the autumn-inspired candle is currently on offer for £4.33 - and people on TikTok have been going totally wild over it, with one person snapping up 12 of these.
However, after dashing to the nearest Sainsbury's to check out what the fuss was all about, one shopper, Nori, was left severely disappointed.
According to the customer, who shared her honest thoughts in a video posted on her page, the candle should be avoided at all costs.
''[Someone] posted this on TikTok and had us all running around because it's aesthetic.

''No one mentioned that it actually smells like rotten milk.''
She strongly advised fellow shoppers to save their cash, urging: ''Do not buy this. It smells absolutely awful.''
Nori added in the caption of the clip: ''DO NOT EVEN BOTHER AND GO TO THE SHOP.''
It appears that many agreed with Nori's opinion, as dozens raced to comments to share their thoughts on the budget-friendly buy.
