With autumn well on the way and energy bills hiked up this October, homes up and down the country are having the same debate as to whether to put the heating on and how they can save money on bills.
Even with the recent cold snap, we have been able to avoid pressing the button in our house, and this is in part, says Birmingham Live's Narin Flanders thanks to one of her best buys of last winter - an Oodie. Popular with all ages and beloved across social media, the must-have product is basically a thick, fleecy blanket with arms and a hood (obviously, hence the name).
The large pocket on the front is perfect for carrying everything you need round the house or to put your hands in to ensure you're totally cosy when the temperature drops. The Oodie is deliberately, cosily, oversized and only comes in an adult/teen version and a child version. Soon even four-legged members of the family will be able to join in the fun with a dog-sized version.
