Money Saving Expert founder Martin Lewis has shared a new guide on how to keep warm in the face of spiraling energy bills as people can longer afford to heat their homes. Martin says people may be able to get by by 'heating the person, not the room'.
He asked the team at the advice website to create a new guide filled with advice on cheaper alternatives to trying to keep your home warm when you can't afford to pay for gas and electricity. At the start of this month the maximum amount energy firms can charge you for gas and electricity went up by 54%.
Now Martin has shared the MSE guide which includes tips such as using heated gloves, hand warmers, an electric gilet or an electric blanket while leaving the central heating off. Martin said: "I felt sad asking my team to put this together, but my emailbag is full of folk so desperate they can't put the heat on, I wanted to try some help. Pls share. Full cost of living survival guide coming soon"
