When you are suffering with a cold, you’ll do anything to get relief – including spending a fortune on over the counter remedies.

But save your pennies because shoppers say this new candle from discount retailer B&M has been helping their sniffles.

It’s based on the smell of Vicks VapoRub and it costs just 59p.

It’s not made by the same company but rather by a brand called Vapowax and is described as a Vapor Candle, but people have compared it to the original minty ointment.

One eagle-eyed shopper spotted the quirky candle in-store, and quickly shared the news on Facebook group, Extreme Couponing and Bargaining UK.

They wrote: ‘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.’

The post had over 3,000 likes and over 1,500 comments.

People were excited to try it and some said that it has already been a help to them.

One user said ‘Both my children have had a horrible cold these last few weeks so I have had the candle lit for about an hour before they went to bed and shut the door and when I have put them to bed blown it out and the vapour smell still fills the room through the night.’
