YMMV but my local Sam's club had 9 packs of these for $4.81 when I was there on last Saturday.

They also had the twin packs of Vap-O-Rub for $5.81. (7.06 oz total)

For anyone interested. Instead of spending $12 for just 12 uses, here's a simple how to list that'll help you make these for dirt cheap. The initial cost for ingredients are about the same price but they will produce much more then just 12 doses. You can also control the size and strength of each bomb. My kids love them when they're stuffed up because we use Spider-Man shapes...

If you don't want to purchase essential oils, the other option is made with some vapor rub. Still ends up producing much more...

Side note: anyone that does purchase essential oils to make them, please stay away from the gigantic $10 bottles on amazon and eBay. Those are highly watered down and won't nearly be as effective. Get good quality oils because they don't use much in the mix. Quality over quantity! Promise you won't regret it!

These kind of suck tbh. Got some a few months back when I was insanely congested. They melt in about 5 minutes, and it really didn't have the intensity you would come to expect from vicks.

I tried these a few months ago, and was extremely disappointed. They dissolve very quickly, and only produce a light Vick's vapor aroma. Didn't help my sinuses at all. I had better results rubbing some vicks on my chest and taking a hot shower.

Thanks for the info. My wife just started selling the young living essential oils so I'm definitely going to give this a try. I also highly recommend the brand. They are pricey, but it's for a reason and its way better then that cheap $2 fake stuff they try to sell off as "essential oils. "

Not a fanboy of Vicks, but in general these worked well. The packages are hard to open with our scissors or a knife . You know scissors and knife in slippery tub Mr.Bates be careful!

You're very welcome! My wife and I actually use young living and it is a very solid brand. I do agree with you and recommend it for anyone who plans to buy oils. Hopefully Stay away from the giant $10 Bottles on ama-zon or eBay. They're are heavily watered down and won't be effective. Quality is key for items like these bombs!

Awesome deal. Thanks OP I use these regularly. To the thread crappers, don't put these in direct line of water spray. Instead put off to the side. Love these.

For sams club, if the price of an item ends in 1, then the item is on clearance. So if you or anybody else is interested you would have to buy them immediately

Yes - I always look for the 1 at Sams Club since I know it's clearance and will be a pretty good deal. I actually went back in to get more since it was such a great price. At my local one they had plenty of them (maybe 100 or more) so they must have just marked them down.
