I went to Meijer this evening and jotted down some prices since the Glade items are half off according to my ad.
Here are the regular prices and half off prices, which would be good with the deal on Friday and Saturday:
Glade Oil refills - double (for all those plug-in money makers!) - $4.99 / $2.49
Glade Oil refills - single (for all those plug-in money makers!) - $3.19 / $1.59
Glade Gel refills - (for all those plug-in money makers!) - $2.78 / $1.39
Glade Wisp refills - was either $3.19 or $3.29 / $1.69 or $1.59
Using the following coupons, you could come close to breaking even, before tax. I only noted insert coupons since not everyone has access to the various peelies that are out there. Obviously using the peelies may sweeten the deals.

Oil candle refills were $3.49. Only saw one package on the holiday display. Took it to the price checker and it rang up $2.56 - which is the price today if you are a senior. The sign on the holiday display mentioned the half off Glade deal through 11/8 - stated that "gift aisle" was not included in the 1/2 off. Not sure where the gift aisle is but must be the oil candles and refills are in this "gift" aisle. Didn't see any of the oil candle holders either.
ETA: Found the "gift" aisle today - this is the aisle with all the candles and had the Febreeze ones, Glade jar, Glade scented oil, etc. The holders weren't on sale but the refills were - $2.50. I didn't check the tag to see if this was just through Sunday (when my ad ends) or if it's maybe through the end of the month.
Single candles are $2.79 / $1.39. Only saw Apple Cinnamon scent and they were on some special holiday display.
4 would be $2.52 - get back $3 OYNO
6 would be $3.78 - get back $4 OYNO
Edited my post for new prices I found when I stopped this morning.
Am editing my post again - wanted to point out, if it wasn't already noticed, that my scenarios are for just buying the same product, i.e. you have to get 6 of the candles to use 3 coupons so maybe someone else can come up with better scenarious of just buying 4 candles and then a Wisp refill. Hmmm, looks like I just figured one out myself! Sorry that I'm being a dork but I can never figure out deals like everyone else can and am just excited that I have actually done it on my own.
4 candles less 2 $1.50/2 coupons would be $2.52 plus one Wisp refill less the $1 coupon would be $.69 (to be conservative) and you'd get back $4 OYNO for spending $3.21. A little more profit than the 6 candles, which may be more useful than the Wisp refill if you don't have the Wisp candle
Hope this helps someone. And please let me know if my math is incorrect. I have been on maternity leave for the past 12 weeks and sometimes think that it has affected my brain . . . you'd think I'd be able to handle this simple math since I'm an accountant
