Aldi shoppers 'need' £20 product that slashes heating bills to 2p a night

Shoppers are rushing to supermarket giant Aldi to get their hands on its latest £20 Special Buy that can slash heating bills to 4p per night. With the cost of living seeing energy bills skyrocketing, people are increasingly looking for new ways to stay warm on a budget.

Aldi's new £19.99 Special Buy can keep you warm for as little as 4p per night. The Silentnight Single Electric Blanket costs 2p per hour to run on its highest setting, but only 0.5p per hour when it's on its lowest setting.

The electric blanket comes in three different sizes. A single costs £19.99.

Most people say they put the blanket on setting two for a couple of hours for bed, and it keeps them warm all night. Setting two costs 1.2p an hour, meaning you can keep warm for the small price of 2.4p.

The double blanket, which can be found here, is £24.99. A king-sized blanket is £29.99.

Based on an average sleep of 8 hours that equals to 4p per night if you keep it on the lowest setting. On its highest setting, it will still only cost 16p to keep you nice and toasty.

The Aldi electric blanket is made of a warm fleece material, and features three different heat settings. The product description reads: Snuggling up in bed after a long, stressful day is one of life's true pleasures. Take it to the next level with the help of the Silentnight Single Electric Blanket.

"Perfect for heat seekers and those who like to stay warm, this Silentnight heated blanket is a great addition to your soft furnishing collection. With overheat protection you can turn it on without worry and with 3 different heat settings you can make your bed the perfect temperature for yourself."

On the Silentnight website, one reviewer wrote: "It's perfect for me, makes my bed so lovely to get into... my bedroom is very cold, by choice so having a warm bed to get into makes it so lovely. So much better than hot water bottles!"

Another said: "First time having an electric blanket & I’ve fallen in love with it. Very pleased with it." A third wrote: "I just love it. To be able to heat your feet at same time as the rest of your body."

Another commented: "put it on 2 for 1 hour before bed then turn it off good." Somebody else wrote: "It’s just my favourite thing! Nothing better than switching it on and letting the warmth seep through achy bones whilst reading or journaling."

We advise pre-ordering the blankets now as they are set to sell out quick. You can pre-order the blankets on the Aldi website here. They will be dispatched on November 17, so not long to wait if you do order.
