Shoppers have been praising high street giant Argos for its £25 electric blanket they say is "much cheaper than using the heating". The budget energy-saving item had already received hundreds of five-star reviews online and has been dubbed a bit of a lifesaver by customers during this cost of living crisis.
From October 1, the energy price cap will increase even further, Manchester Evening News reports. This means that people will have to fork out even more for their heating and so, as a result, many are choosing to keep their heating off completely this winter and look for other ways to stay warm.
The energy-efficient electric blanket, which costs £25, claims to cost from 1p a night to run as well as reducing heating bills for many homeowners - and it's made of soft and cosy material, perfect for snuggling up on a crisp winter's evening. The blanket also boasts three heat settings, so you can choose the right temperature for you and even features overheat protection for complete peace of mind.
