Following Money Saving Expert Martin Lewis' mantra of 'heat the human not the home', hundreds of households continue to explore ways to stay warm in the face of soaring energy costs. One of the ways people are looking to reduce energy consumption and bills is to wear warmer garments.
An item of clothing that continues to receive rave reviews is the Oodie which is an over-sized, wearable, fleecy blanket. It comes in various prints including penguin, dachshund and pizza emblazoned versions.
As reported by North Wales Live, some Martin Lewis fans claimed they "hadn't turned the heating on" after buying a £64 Oodie. With the cost-of-living crisis continuing, people have been looking into cost-effective ways to prevent switching the heating on.
The Oodie proved to be a popular option for many. But Aldi now has a £9.99 Specialbuy item that shoppers say is "just like" it.
Aldi's Mini Me 3D Ears Hooded Blanket is described as "snug to the touch" in the description of the product. Shoppers who have bought the product have been sharing positive reviews about it and the product has an average star rating of 5/5.
The online description reads: "Your little one will look adorable when wearing this Mini Me 3D Ears Hooded Blanket by Kirkton House. Made using 100% polyester, this blanket will feel soft and snug to the touch.
