Many Brits will be facing the internal battle that is whether or not to pop the heating on as December creeps closer, with the cost of living crisis making it a difficult decision for many. Shoppers have been turning to energy-saving gadgets to replace their household appliances over the last few months, swapping ovens for air fryers and tumble dryers for heated airers.
When it comes to keeping warm, Martin Lewis gave the advice to ‘heat the human, not the home’ - which has seen shoppers go on to snap up products like USB heated gloves, Oodies and hooded blankets, as well as heated throws and gilets. The idea is that instead of popping the heating on and warming the whole house, you take steps to keep yourself warm, so there’s no need to touch the thermostat.
Shoppers have been heaping praise on a portable heater from Dunelm , which costs pennies to run, with many saying they’ve not had to put the heating on since.
