B&M has launched a VapoRub-inspired candle to ease coughs and colds this winter, and it’s only 59p

GETTING through the winter flu season means stocking up on essentials - including Vick's VapoRub.

And now, B&M has launched a vapour candle perfect for easing coughs and colds - and it's only 59p.

Although not made by Vicks, it's a very similar smell created by a company called Vapowax.

One shopper took to the on Facebook to praise the product, writing: "I don’t know if I’m the only one who didn’t know this was a thing?

"Like Vicks vapour but as a candle – 59p at B&M.

"Perfect for this time of year with all the coughs and colds going about.

"If it doesn’t help, at least my house smells nice."

One member of the group who had tried the candle explained: "Both my children have had a horrible cold these last few weeks.

"I have had the candle lit for about an hour before they went to bed and shut the door.

"Then when I put them to bed, blow it out and the vapour smell still fills the room through the night."

The product is just 59p and available in B&M stores.

Last month, we told you how shoppers were in a frenzy after one woman managed to snap up £100 worth of Yankee Candles for just 50p in the bargain store.

The candles usually retail for £23.99, but the shopper managed to bag five for an astonishing 50p.

In other news, we told you B&M is selling matching fleece pyjamas for the whole family starting from just £5.

We also revealed Dunelm is selling a teddy fleece onesie and shoppers say they ‘don’t need the heating on’ while wearing it.

And we showed you the pyjama subscription service which delivers toasty new PJs to your door every month, and people are already racing to sign up.
