As many are aware, bills are on the rise from our shopping to our energy with many saving money by turning the heating off.

However whilst some are cutting back on how much they spend when they're out as well as trying to avoid turn the heating on, others have found a hoodie is getting heavy praise.

As reported by Glasgow Live, shoppers at B&M shoppers are hailing a product that's saving them money and only cost £12 to buy.

With winter soon set to kick in, meaning even colder weather, as well as the cost of energy increasing on October 1, households across the UK are looking for ways to stay warm for less to avoid switching the heating on. It comes as the energy price guarantee scheme has frozen the price cap at £2,500 for two years.

Taking to a money-saving group on Facebook, one bargain hunter found a 'Snuggle Hoodie' which she compared to the popular Oodie - and for just over a tenner, it was an easy decision. The cosy hoodie is large, fleece lined and has a big pocket at the front - it's essentially a blanket with arms.

Sharing her find in Extreme Coupons and Bargaining UK, she wrote: "Bought this for Christmas but my daughter spotted them in boot of my car, so my daughter and sons had them early as it's starting to feel chilly at night.

"These have lovely warm sherpa lining to snuggle up in to save having to use our heating oil at the moment until it gets colder. I tried daughters on its age 11-13-years. To give you a size guide, I'm 4ft 10" and it fits me lol they also have unicorn or rainbows design, also available in adults sizes.

"Not sure how they compare to oodies as daughter wants one but these are a fab price, very warm and cosy!"

It costs just £12. (Extreme Coupons and Bargaining UK.)

The post gained hundreds of comments with many sharing other hoodies that are similar and cheaper than the original Oodie. One wrote: "Bought my grandchildren them yesterday, they are so cosy."

Another said: "We had the Primark version last year and lived in them so have invested in the real thing this year since they are doing two-for-one (still £42 each) but think it will be worth it with the fuel crisis and given how much we wore them last year."

A third echoed: "Primark are doing them as well - very warm." Another added: "Both of my children have them. They LOVE them! Definitely recommend."
