If you are heading out soon and happen to be passing your local B&Q, you may want to stop here in a bid to slash the amount of money leaving your account each month.
It comes as a top-rated builder is urging people to try and lower their energy bills and look into their options. And one of these options seems to be investing in an £18 item from retailers like B&Q and Wickes.
Owner of DMG Services, Darren McGhee, was crowned as Screwfix Top Tradesperson in 2019 and has helped countless of households - and he's about to help more as he aims to protect people from forking out thousands in unnecessary cash when it comes to keeping your home warm.

And in better news, you can do it for free with not much work yourself.
The building expert has explained how you can insulate your home for as little as £18.60 which, according to MEN, could save you as much as £300 on heating bills every year. If this sounds like a good option, you can get cheap materials from popular DIY stores like Wickes, B&Q and Wilko.
Speaking to the Sun, Darren said: "Fitting insulation in your loft space is the best way to stop heat escaping from your home - and it's also pretty cheap. Anyone can do this, you don't need to be a tradesperson.
"You can buy insulation from all local builder merchants or retailers such as B&Q and Wickes."
B&Q has the cheapest option at £18.60, and it also has dozens of glowing five-star reviews.
One reviewer noted an instant change in the temperature of their home whilst another commented on how easy it is to apply.
B&Q says it is an "eco-friendly alternative to traditional glass wool insulation, this recycled plastic insulation from Diall is comfortable to work with and is completely itch free. It is extremely easy to lay and comes in handy sized rolls to fit many existing rafter spaces."
B&Q's Diall Insulation roll has racked up plenty of five star reviews online. One person said: "Easy insulation to work with, nice and soft to handle and doesn’t agitate."
Another said: "Loved it for ease of installing in my undercroft, so underneath the floor. Used a cheap staple gun where necessary, and only took a day to complete.. Hopefully, will help this winter, fingers crossed."
A third five-star reviewer wrote: "The moment I finished laying this product I instantly noticed a major and significant difference! The cold draft was gone and the warmth was kept in - which has lowered my heating bill!"
You can ask your preferred DIY store for help and advice on which insulation product is suitable for your home, and how many rolls you'll need for your space to ensure the desired outcome.
