Aldi shoppers praise £35 Specialbuy Martin Lewis says can keep you warm for 4p a week

Supermarket shoppers have praised Aldi for a £35 Specialbuy thanks to advice given by Money Saving Expert Martin Lewis last week. Last week, the ITV This Morning finance expert advised people on how they can stay warm without turning the heating on.

As part of his advice, Martin suggested buying items like heated USB gloves and electric blankets, so people can heat themselves instead of their homes.

Now Aldi shoppers have discovered a £35 Specialbuy that is helping them use the Money Saving Expert's advice.

Posting on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains Facebook group, Barbara Mann shared a picture of a £35 heated throw with sleeves you can buy at Aldi.

She wrote: "After Martin Lewis recommendations for keeping warm and using electric blankets if you only need to be warm in one room...bingo. £35 Aldi."

The post clearly struck a chord with struggling shoppers, as it's been commented on more than 5,000 times.

Lisa Harrop said: "I bought this for my hubby in February I have used it a couple of times at night or when ill and it's really warn without been plugged in."

Lorna Quinn wrote: "They are great. And I use it as an electric blanket on the very cold nights. So comfortable."

Joanne Guy commented: "I've got one of these and it's lush, so comfy and warm even without turning it on!"

Amanda Payne-MacArthur said: "I use mine every day."

Unfortunately the blankets are currently out of stock on the Aldi website, but you may be able to find one in your local store if you're lucky.

Manchester Evening News has contacted Aldi about the possibility of restocking the blankets online.
