As energy bills saw another price hike this month amidst the cost of living crisis, many Brits will struggle to afford heat this winter. With this in mind, people will be looking for alternative and affordable ways to keep themselves warm as we enter the colder months.
While there's only so much we can do to combat rising costs, many people have been sharing money-saving hacks which centre around warming products that don't rely on central heating. One such product that people have been raving about is the humble microwavable heat bag.
