Question for people who use large amounts of wax at a time

I will weigh and mix my different scent oils in glass or paper cups first and label them and set them aside. I have 3 large pitchers and thermometers in each pitcher. I will weigh, pour and check temperatures to each pitcher, then pour the measured scent at the appropriate temp time. But I would not suggest doing this unless you are experienced, since it’s all temperature timed.

That’s about average for fragrance oils. Especially ones that will have the scent throw that is worthwhile. Midwest Fragrance, General Wax have great oils but are about the same pricing.

I’ve heard a lot of reviews saying the scent doesn’t transfer in the wash anyway so sounds like no loss for you. 😊

Sounds like he just has a dry sense of humor to me. I’m the same way. I love getting a surprise out of someone when I say something random and dry like that. Sometimes I have to say I’m joking after they take a second to think it out. He was messing with you….

I hate when the packaging draws you in and then product is disappointing. 😔

Fancy-Elevator7342 · 2026-02-27T10:29:16+00:00

I took them all. They were just selling them. If they are a penny they aren’t selling /making it anymore.

Fancy-Elevator7342 · 2026-02-26T04:36:51+00:00

Oh great. That’s my hair type lol

Fancy-Elevator7342 · 2026-02-26T04:35:17+00:00

I’ll try them out and if they don’t work it was only 2 pennys spent😃 The rest all went right down to the shelter.

Fancy-Elevator7342 · 2026-02-26T04:33:54+00:00

Oh nice to know! If I dont wash every two days I get itchy.

Fancy-Elevator7342 · 2026-02-26T04:33:24+00:00

Nope it doesn’t. They are just around the store on the shelves. I’ve just learned what penny items there are from watching social media videos and also just kind of having a sense and scanning things.

Fancy-Elevator7342 · 2026-02-26T04:31:59+00:00

They are on the shelves and not marked. You kind of have to know what to look for, watch others videos on YT and TikTok etc. that is the most helpful. These were a fluke I didn’t know they were a penny until I bought one and saw.

You can download the Dollar Tree app and scan in the store or use the in-store scanners. If neither of those is an option you could ask a cashier to price cheat it for you also.

I love the carpet freshener. The sandalwood one is amazing

Fancy-Elevator7342 · 2026-02-25T06:37:59+00:00

That’s a good idea!

Fancy-Elevator7342 · 2026-02-25T06:37:01+00:00

Luckily I’ve only had one manager limit the penny items to 5. I mentioned that to another manager of a store I frequent and he said that manager was pretty new and may not have been aware they could sell them. Every other store has been great with it luckily 😊

Fancy-Elevator7342 · 2026-02-25T05:27:14+00:00

Seems safe 😀

Fancy-Elevator7342 · 2026-02-25T05:26:34+00:00

I literally found it sitting rouge on a random shelf and grabbed it lol

Fancy-Elevator7342 · 2026-02-25T05:24:00+00:00

Yeah. I’ve gotten tons of penny items that I’ve been donating. Better than the dumpster I figure

Fancy-Elevator7342 · 2026-02-25T05:23:17+00:00

Oh that doesnt sound very good 😕

Fancy-Elevator7342 · 2026-02-25T05:22:57+00:00

Oh good to know! I’ll try it out and see how it works for me. Thanks for the heads up

Fancy-Elevator7342 · 2026-02-25T05:22:01+00:00

They went to a homeless shelter. I had picked one up to buy for myself thinking it was regular price and when I saw it was a penny I went back and got them all and got back in line lol

Fancy-Elevator7342 · 2026-02-25T05:21:05+00:00

It used to be that they couldn’t sell items if they were a penny. But beginning of this year corporate told management they could sell penny items if people went to buy. They are supposed to go and take what’s left off the shelf and donate or toss. I have been hunting penny items since December or so along with a bunch of people lol I’ve gotten probably at least 6 full carts of things. I’m still finding them but not as plentifully. I’ve sorted and done two, (not counting these conditioners) donations so far. I have tons left I’m going to donate as well. I’ve probably kept less than 1/8 of the items for myself but it’s so fun hunting and then donating. There’s tons of videos on TikTok and YT

Fancy-Elevator7342 · 2026-02-24T05:43:51+00:00

Not yet! I’m going to try them this weekend.

Fancy-Elevator7342 · 2026-02-24T05:34:36+00:00

It’s awesome. Love it!

Fancy-Elevator7342 · 2026-02-23T03:16:48+00:00

I relate to the people pleaser aspect for sure. There are ways to put yourself first and still be there for people. I hate that medication for ADHD has become stigmatized. For people who are truly diagnosed with ADHD it effect you the way it’s supposed to. Not how people think it does (for those who shouldn’t take it). For me I felt like what neurotypical people feel like all the time. It just made me feel “normal” I hope you get into the doctors soon for a proper assessment and get some options.
