Aldi's £7.99 hot water bottle is saving me from an expensive gas bill and it costs just 2p an hour

Products that can save on energy bills are being snapped up very quickly in the run up to Christmas especially as the price cap is set to rise again in January 2023.

Many householders will be facing even higher bills next year as the energy price cap will rise to an annual £4,279 in January, according to Ofgem. The energy price cap, set by Ofgem, limits the maximum amount energy suppliers can charge you for each unit of energy you use if you live in England, Scotland and Wales.

Despite the increase, bill-payers remain protected under the government's Energy Price Guarantee (EPG) but many shoppers are still looking for ways to not put the heating on at home. Air fryers, Oodies, heated jackets and plug-in heated airers are all being bought across many retailers in the UK, and were among the top products purchased during the start of the Christmas shopping season.
