Lidl shoppers hail £23 energy saving blanket that helps'heat the person, not the home'

The cost of living has been increasing over the last year with millions of households affected.

Because of this, people are looking at ways to save money wherever they can whether it's their energy bills or their weekly shopping costs. To help, experts have advised 'heating the person and not the home', with many suggesting wrapping up warm and layering rather than putting the heating on.

And now Lidl has launched a cosy under blanket that will help keep you warm and toasty during the colder nights for literal pennies.

The budget supermarket's Silvercrest Heated Underblanket costs just £22.99 and says that "for a fraction of the the cost of traditional heating" it will keep you warm.

The blanket saves a lot of energy, and therefore a lot of money, with the Daily Record stating that it costs just 2p an hour to run.

And in even better news, because it can be kept on all throughout the night for the recommended eight hours of sleep, it would only cost you 16p for the full night, compared with a 24KW boiler that would set you back £22.08.

Thankfully it heats up quickly meaning you can get toasty warm as you settle down for some much needed shut eye. And if you fall asleep, it will automatically shut off.
