Heating the Human, Not the Home
Martin Lewis' Money Saving Expert (MSE) has shared a genius way to stay warm in the winter without breaking the bank. For just £4 to buy and 17p a week to run, you can keep yourself snug while keeping your energy bills low.
Try a Microwave Wheat Bag
MSE suggests using a microwaveable wheat bag as a cheap alternative to heating your home. These bags can be purchased for just £4 and cost less than 1p per hour to run, saving you money on energy bills. Look for them at local drugstores or online retailers like Superdrug, Amazon, or eBay.
More Ways to Stay Warm and Save
If you're willing to spend a bit more, there are other options to avoid turning up the heat. Consider USB gloves and heated insoles, which can be purchased for £10 and cost less than 1p per hour to use. Reusable hand warmers are another great option, costing around £5 and less than 1p per hour to run.
Invest in an Electric Blanket
If you're ready to make a larger investment, an electric blanket is worth considering. With a starting price of £35, it costs just 2p per hour to run and can keep you toasty all night. Many money savers swear by heated blankets for their energy-saving benefits.
Save Hundreds with These Energy Bill Hacks
