Eagle-eyed shoppers have spotted a Deep Heat bubble bath soak in Home Bargains this week and people are going mad for it on social media.
Even better still, it’ll only set you back £2.49 – a small price to pay for a pain-free lifestyle, right?
A post featuring the product was shared to the ever-popular Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook yesterday and many eager shoppers seemed keen to head to their nearest Home Bargains branch in the hopes of getting their hands of a bottle of the pain-relieving potion.
People who have used the Deep Heat Foam Bath in the past have already branded it “amazing”.

Proving extremely popular, the post went on to amass well over 7.8K interactions and 3.2K comments from group members sharing the news of the bargain product with their friends and family.
Of course though, the praise for the product was understandably combined with one overriding question – does it not burn? You know, in areas you don’t want it to burn?

Let’s be honest, we were all thinking it.

Thankfully though, the Facebook user who shared the bargain purchase did very comically clarify that “my lady parts have not disintegrated or set on fire, nor have my nips frazzled. I’m not walking like John Wayne and I didn’t scream the house down when I got in”, which is about as glowing of a review as you could possibly hope for this product.
The Deep Heat Foam Bath is available at Home Bargains stores nationwide for £2.49 per 350ml bottle.

If you are planning on hitting up Home Bargains to get your hands on this Deep Heat Foam Bath, then it’s advised you always check the opening times of your local branch before making any trips in store.
You can do so via the Home Bargains store finder here.
If you’ve not had much luck in locating it at your local Home Bargains branch, then you’ve no need to worry because we’ve also found it stocked on Amazon too.
It may be a little more expensive than at Home Bargains, but if you can’t make your way to store / or you’re in desperate need, then you can grab a bottle to be delivered right to your front door here.

Full list of Manchester restaurants set to add an extra £1 to bills to tackle homelessness this Christmas
Emily Sergeant
A handful of local restaurants will be adding an extra £1 onto every bill over the festive season to help fight street homelessness.
As November arrives, the temperatures begin to start dropping, and the nights set in a little earlier, people in Greater Manchester are once again able to give back while they dine at some of the best restaurants the region has to offer in the run up to Christmas, as the successful StreetSmart fundraising initiative is back for another year.
This year, 15 fantastic restaurants have come together to support local homeless charities as the campaign launches today (1 November).
Manchester independents such as Proloco, Erst, Ezra & Gill, Stretford Canteen, and Blue Eyed Panda are among those taking part in the campaign this year, alongside several city centre chain restaurants such as Lina Stores, Tampopo, Banyan, Manahatta, and San Carlo.
Now in its 29th year, StreetSmart works by each participating restaurant adding an extra £1 to every bill they deliver throughout November and December, with all of the money raised going directly to local homeless organisations, thanks to StreetSmart’s official sponsorship from LandAid.

Since launching in 1998, the campaign has raised over £16.2 million to support charities across the UK, providing practical help, from meals and emergency accommodation to healthcare, training, housing advice and routes towards finding a permanent home.
The StreetSmart team says it’s determined to deliver another record-breaking year in 2026, and provide much-needed support to the services that help some of the most vulnerable people in the city.

“The festive period can be an incredibly tough time for the vulnerable people in our community,” explained Glenn Pougnet, who is the Director of StreetSmart.
“StreetSmart provides a simple way for people to help some of our city’s most in need. Giving back whilst dining out at Christmas is what StreetSmart is all about, and we’re thrilled to have so many restaurants already taking part.
“Every £1 added to a bill adds up and makes a huge difference.”

‘Groundbreaking’ new police team launches on Bee Network to make it one of the safest in the world
Emily Sergeant
A ‘groundbreaking’ new policing model aimed at making the Bee Network one of the safest public transport networks in the world has launched.
Described as being ‘pioneering’, the first-of-its-kind approach – named the Transport Policing and Crime Command (TPACC) – will bring Greater Manchester Police (GMP), Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM), and Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) even closer together to tackle crime, antisocial behaviour, and safety issues across the region’s transport network.
So, how will it work then? Well, according to TfGM, the command will ‘effectively establish’ the Bee Network as GMP’s eleventh policing district.
It will bring together up to 300 personnel, including new police officers, who are all involved in keeping the network safe and providing greater reassurance to passengers travelling across the region.
Efforts to keep passengers safe on buses, trams, active travel routes, and roads across Greater Manchester will be ‘strengthened’ through the new team – improving co-ordination in response to incidents, and helping to reassure communities.

The new team will also incorporate the existing Roads Policing Unit within GMP that includes specialist functions such as the Central Ticket Office, the Tactical Vehicle Intercept Unit, the motorbike unit, the Commercial Vehicle Unit, the Serious Collision Investigation Unit, and more.
Overall, the key focus of TPACC is to:
Increase public confidence on safety across the transport network
Reduce violence, antisocial behaviour and criminality across the transport network
Increase the number of users of the Bee Network across Greater Manchester
The launch of TPACC is said to represents ‘the next phase’ of Greater Manchester’s commitment to creating a ‘safer, more secure, and more welcoming’ transport network for everyone who lives, works, and travels across the region.
“I want a world-class Bee Network where everyone feels safe,” commented Greater Manchester Mayor, Bev Craig.
“Our new dedicated transport policing command will bring together more than 300 police and safety officers, with high-profile patrols across our roads and the Bee Network. It means a stronger presence in our communities and faster action when people need help.
“TPACC will also crack down on dangerous driving to reduce the number of deaths and serious injuries on our roads, which have devastating consequences for families and communities.”
