Student Saves on Winter Heating Costs

As winter approaches, homeowners are seeking budget-friendly solutions to combat heat loss and rising energy bills. One effective method involves using thermal curtains, which can reduce heat loss by up to 25%, as shared by a homeowner in a DIY Facebook group after discovering a £5 thermal door curtain from B&M. Meanwhile, Lidl has gained attention for its luxury heated throws, priced at £24.99, which offer nine heat settings and are described as a cozy alternative to central heating. Ben John, a man living in a caravan, has managed to keep his heating costs down to just £167 for the entire winter thanks to a £12 off-brand Oodie from Lidl, which allows him to run a diesel heater on a low setting. By layering with blankets and using a dehumidifier, he has found effective ways to stay warm without incurring high energy expenses. These various strategies highlight the growing trend of finding affordable ways to maintain warmth during colder months.
