Martin Lewis fan praises £47 product and say they 'haven't used heating' since

Summer is drawing to an end with new higher energy bills looming.

And as the price cap is set to rise to £2,500 (the average yearly energy bill), families are planning on how they're going to keep warm and avoid putting the heating on this winter.

According to Manchester Evening News, adults, teens and kids alike are turning to the popular product, the Oodie, with one Martin Lewis fan singing its praises.

The Oodie is an oversized jumper, like a blanket with its fleece interior and large pocket, and after the Australian company rose to fame in 2020 during the pandemic, it didn't take long for other retail stores bring out their own version.

On Martin Lewis' Money Saving Expert website, one fan says she hasn't needed her heating since buying such clothing.

"Invested in an oversized hoodie blanket to snuggle up in, not used heating since," she said.

While the official Oodies are not cheap, there's currently a sale on, with kids' starting from £47 and the reviews really do speak for themselves.

"BIG, fluffy, cuddly warm.. did I say BIG?" said one customer, "I love that you can fit a hot water bottle in the pouch. Up yours, energy company! I'll be in my Oodie if you need anything"

Another said: "I got this six days after I ordered it and honestly it was worth the wait! I was so impatient and so excited. It's so soft and cosy, I feel like I am locked in it! I love this so much and it fits my mum too and she wouldn't give it back."

The Oodie, and versions like it, also have sleeves, so you're not restricted like you would be if you were tucked under a blanket.

You can save money with the bundles too, bringing the cost of four adult size ones to just over £50 each.

And for those who want a more affordable option, then other retailers are selling their own versions, including Primark, where its kids' fleece Snuddies cost from £10 and adults from around £19.
