B&M's version comes in a similarly sleek ceramic cup and offers a warm, spicy scent that's near identical to the original, according to fans.
One delighted customer said, 'I couldn't believe how similar it smelled to the Zara one I had before.
"Honestly, if someone blind-tested me, I wouldn't know the difference. And at £4? I went back the next day and bought three more.'
The Mountain Pepper candle by Zara is known for its rich, peppery notes with a hint of citrus, making it a cult classic for those who love a home that smells expensive.
Now, B&M shoppers say they can get the same luxurious scent for a fraction of the cost – and with the same chic look to match any décor.
This isn't the first time B&M has caused a frenzy with its affordable alternatives to designer homewares.
The retailer has a strong reputation for stocking high-quality dupes that give customers the luxe-for-less feel.
Their Hotel Collection range, in particular, has drawn comparisons to brands like The White Company and Jo Malone.
Shoppers have also raved about B&M's reed diffusers, which are priced at just £3.99 but give off scents that rival products five times the price.
I wasn't going to fork out for a Labubu so nabbed a budget alternative from B&M instead - it's SO much cuter too
One woman wrote on Facebook: 'These make my whole house smell posh.
"I'll never go back to buying the expensive ones again.'
Priced at around £4.99, they're often compared to Jo Malone's classic scented candles, which can cost upwards of £55.
As one shopper joked online: 'It's giving Zara vibes, but on a B&M budget — and I'm here for it!'
Even home accessories like velvet cushions and throws are proving popular dupes.
Their luxe-looking velvet cushion covers, priced at £8.99, have been likened to ones sold at H&M Home and Zara Home for double the price.

‘Not an attractive place to shop': how Poundland lost its appeal to shoppers
'It's not actually that cheap any more. It's kind of lost its appeal because everything is not a pound.' Samantha, a shopper outside Poundland's Luton retail park outlet who is heading off to B&M to find some better deals, sums up the feelings of many of her fellow bargain hunters and a central problem facing the new owner of the budget retailer. Gordon Brothers, which snapped up Poundland for a pound earlier this month – appears to have got a cheaper deal than is now available on many of the shelves at the chain, where there is a dizzying array of prices – from £14 jackets to £3 boxes of lightbulbs and £1.50 lipgloss. The group, which dived to a pre-tax loss of more than £51m last year despite sales at its outlets in the UK, Republic of Ireland and Isle of Man rising slightly to £1.82bn, according to accounts filed at Companies House, is aiming to close up to 150 of its 800 UK stores and asking landlords to cut rents on many more as it battles for survival. On a busy lunchtime in Luton, shoppers are queueing up for Poundland's largely self-service tills but many are convinced they can find better bargains elsewhere. This area highlights how the competition is breathing down Poundland's neck. The retail park store is just a couple of doors down from B&M, a major competitor, while its nearby outlet in the centre of Luton is squeezed between one of the UK's few remaining Wilkos and The Works – both cut-price rivals. Floretta Pope, 68, who is passing by with her daughter Tia, 32, says she no longer shops very frequently in Poundland. 'Everything in there is not a pound and, even if it is, it can be smaller than normal. It is not really an attractive place to shop.' 'I always find it a bit hectic in Poundland,' adds Katie Duffy, 26. 'I don't tend to go in. B&M has more choice.' Bargain chains are having a particularly tough time due to rising competition from supermarkets, including Tesco, Aldi and Lidl. The expansion of groups such as Savers, The Range, B&M, The Works and Home Bargains as well as online rivals such as Temu and Shein mean the budget market is now very crowded even since the demise of major player Wilko in 2023, which was left with only a few stores after The Range snapped up the brand. There has already been some consolidation. Poundland's rival Poundstretcher was bought last year by Majestic Wine's owner, Fortress, in its latest rescue deal, while another rival, Poundworld, closed its 350 stores in 2018 and Poundland bought its rival 99p Stores in 2015. Despite that, Poundland has been losing ground. Industry research group GlobalData estimates that its market share has fallen 2.3 percentage points (ppts) between 2019 and 2024 while Home Bargains, B&M and The Range's shares increased by 7.2ppts, 6.2ppts and 1.3ppts respectively. It is a dramatic turnaround in the past decade when Poundland grew rapidly amid demand for cheap stores. It rode a wave on which the UK's pound shop estate doubled between 2010 and 2016, according to the retail analyst Local Data Company now known as Green Street. The number continued to climb between 2015 and 2024 when more than 480 were added. Growth has now stalled according to Green Street and 21 shops in the pound-store category have closed this year. Poundland's parent group, Pepco, said it put the group up for sale after the government's increase in national insurance and business rates in April, which it said would 'add further pressure to Poundland's cost base'. But it also admitted it had made mistakes, including putting its Pepco clothing ranges into stores – which had not gone down well with UK shoppers. The budget retailers are under particular pressure from a raft of increases in basic business costs – such as wages, energy and property tax – as their slim profit margins give them little room to absorb additional costs. Meanwhile, the low-wage shoppers that make up the core of their fanbase now have little spare cash for non-essentials and those with more to spare can get what they need with their supermarket shop, where they are increasingly locked in by loyalty-card-linked discounts. The general slowdown in visits to physical stores on high streets and shopping malls has also hit bargain chains whose rock-bottom prices are designed to tempt passersby into impulse purchases. One former Poundland director, said the brand had 'lost its way' by becoming 'far too complicated and confusing for customers' with such an array of different price points. He said its decision in 2019 to drop the focus on £1 items also meant business operations, including running stores and dealing with suppliers had become more costly and complex. Poundland itself said in January it wanted to increase the number of items on sale for a £1 or less from 1,500, less than a third of its core range of 5,000 items, to almost half – 2,400. However, a banner outside the Luton store still only boasted of having the lower number of products at or below the headline price point. Emily Scott, a retail analyst at GlobalData agrees: 'The introduction of multiple price points has confused customers, while still not enabling shoppers to trade up within its ranges as it lacks the additional choice of mid to premium products.' She adds: 'Poundland's weak variety of branded goods at low prices has meant it has struggled to keep pace, damaging its brand perception amongst brand- and budget-conscious shoppers.' Poundland said: 'Despite continuing to serve 20 million shoppers a year, we know we've not met customers' expectations in a number of areas over the last couple of years. 'We've heard them and we're looking forward to having the opportunity to put those missteps right as we put our recovery plan in place.' The former director believes Poundland could still have a place on high streets but might need to shift to something more akin to the US chain Five Below, which sells items for five dollars or less to give more flexibility as costs rise. But, he warns, 'they have to keep it simple'.

Heinz launches new ketchup in UK but ditches two major ingredients
For those looking to make more health consious choices, Heinz has released a brand new ketchup called Heinz Tomato Ketchup Zero but it's missing two key ingredients Heinz has released a brand new tomato ketchup recipe for health conscious fans - and it's packed with even more tomatoes, but it's missing two key components. The famous Tommy K sauce is perfect to dunk your chips, layer onto a burger or squirt into your bacon sandwich, and now the brand new Heinz Tomato Ketchup Zero is promising a richer and bolder taste with zero added sugar and salt. But when you think of items with no salt or sugar, you tend to assume it won't be as tasty. However to combat this, Heinz have packed 35% more tomatoes into each bottle, so the taste isn't compromised with zero sugar and salt and it's great for those looking to make more conscious health choices. The brand have listened to their customers, and Heinz's latest sauce innovation comes after a recent survey of 50,000 Brits revealed that the number one attribute sought when deciding what to eat or drink was healthier choices with less sugar and salt. It means it's met the demand for healthier foods by turning up the tomato and turning down the added salt and sugar. It's clear ketchup fans are impressed, as a taste test study revealed 9 in 10 people said Heinz Zero Added Sugar & Salt Tomato Ketchup delivers on the iconic quality they expect from the brand Alexandra Bayet, Head of Innovation for Tomato Ketchup, Europe said: "Consumers expect 'Zero' products to fall flat on flavour – because 'Zero' often means 'less'. We wanted to turn that on its head and create a ketchup that's all about more of what you love, even with fewer ingredients. "Developed using our 150-year sauce know-how, taste expertise and containing 35% more sun-ripened tomatoes, grown especially for Heinz, our new Heinz Zero Added Sugar & Salt Tomato Ketchup, delivers a bold, satisfying taste that lives up to the standard set by our iconic original. "So, whether you're choosing Zero or Classic, you can be confident it will taste like Heinz. And when it comes to ketchup, of course It Has To Be Heinz". It comes after Heinz recently axed their tartare sauce but revamped it and launched Fish & Chips Sauce, also known as 'Tartare 2.0'. The ingredients include gherkins, dill, salt, parsley and mustard. While the bottle wears the 'Fish & Chips Sauce' label, the ingredients are listed in a style that's similar to the classic tartare sauce. On the packaging, Heinz has also listed it as 'Tartare Sauce', bringing back the nostalgia. The Tartare sauce has been a classic to seafood dishes like the fish and chips, and Heinz has described the new condiment as 'fresh and herby' which was 'posed to become Britain's new go-to pairing for fish dinners - and, of course, the nation's beloved dish, fish & chips.'

Brits could see summer holiday spending boost - see full list of destinations
The strength of the pound against most other currencies has boosted Brits' spending power when they head abroad this summer, research had found, in some cases by a lot Millions of Brits planning foreign holidays this summer will be quids in thanks to the pound's strength, a recent report has found. Sterling's gain against a host of currencies has boosted families' spending power - in some cases by a lot. For instance, the pound's 30% rise against the lira in the past year means holidaymakers jetting to Turkey will have a bumper £116 more to spend for every £500. That is equivalent to a couple of three course meals for two, with wine, in the Turkish resort of Marmaris, plus four beers. Those considering a long-haul break to Mexico will have almost £57 per £500 extra thanks to a near 13% increase against the peso, according to the Post Office Travel Money's Holiday Spending Report. It reveals that the UK pound is stronger than a year ago against 25 of the 30 currencies and has gained ground against 80% of them since March. Others in the top 10 list of spending power gainers include Egypt, Australia, and New Zealand. Brits thinking of a trip to the States will also get more bang for their buck thanks to sterling's 6.6% rise against the US dollar, meaning they would have almost £31 per £500 more to spend than this time last year. Despite that, many people are seemingly having second thoughts about going on holiday to the USA. The main concern is that US President Donald Trump 's trade tariffs will mean higher prices - cited by 78% of those polled - rather than his politics in general. Those heading to Europe will also be better off, though not by so much. Sterling is just 0.9% up against the euro year-on-year, meaning Brits have £4.50 per £500 more spending power across the pond than last summer. The Post Office report also found a sharp rise in the number of people planning trips abroad. Two-thirds of those surveyed said they intend to take a foreign holiday this year , with more than half having already booked their trip. That is despite growing concerns voiced by nine-in-ten of them about whether they have enough money to afford the trip. Over three-quarters said exchange rates were a big concern for them. When it came to people's views on the best value destinations, Brit-favourite Spain came top, followed by Turkey, Thailand, Portugal, Greece and Italy. When it came to their trip abroad, 82% of holidaymakers said they had set a budget averaging £377, but most admitted overspending. Laura Plunkett, head of travel money at the Post Office, which accounts for one-in-four UK foreign exchange transactions, said: 'This year's holiday spending research again demonstrates that holidaymakers don't always set a realistic budget and overspend by large amounts as a result. It's great to hear that holidaymakers are already planning to budget more for their holidays this year, to avoid coming unstuck when they arrive at their destination.' The report also found that many holidaymakers are paying over the odds for transactions abroad. While it advisable to carry some cash overseas, one-in-five in the survey said relied solely on plastic to pay for purchases, and just over a quarter changed less than £100 into foreign currency. As a consequence, holidaymakers can into difficulties. From the poll, 7% said they had tried to pay a restaurant, shop or bar bill with a credit card, only to find that it was not accepted. More than one-in-ten also fell foul of a practice known as Dynamic Currency Conversion by agreeing to pay on their card in sterling rather than local currency, incurring unnecessary transaction charges as a result. Ms Plunkett said: 'Paying on a debit or credit card may seem like a convenient way to pay for things while abroad, but our research suggests that this can be a costly practice. Far too many holidaymakers told us that they paid significantly more than they anticipated because of the transaction charges made for using credit and debit cards at an overseas ATM."
