Martin Lewis-recommended 3p an hour electric blankets on sale for less than £3

Martin Lewis has been at the forefront of helping Brits cut down on costs wherever possible during the cost of living and energy crisis, with electric blankets being recommended by him as an inexpensive winter warmer must-have item. And now, shoppers can get their hands on one for less than £3 thanks to a new deal, as reported by the Express.

At Wilko, customers can bag themselves the Slumberdown Electric Blanket with a Top Cashback deal for cheap. The offer is availble to people who sign up to Top Cashback as new members, where they can get a £15 sign up bonus and six per cent cashback when they spend £15 or more in Wilko.

The impressive deal means new users can save a whopping £15.90 on the £18 electric blanket. The amount brings the total cost down to just £2.10 with Top Cashback.

In a recent guide on his Money Saving Expert website, Martin Lewis and his team recommended Brits use electric blankets over the winter to stay warm without having to switch on costly central heating. The guide states that the majority of blankets cost about 3p an hour to run.

So how can people redeem the Top Cashback offer? The only way to do it is if you are a new member and sign up via this link, which will give you the chance to redeem the £15 sign up bonus as well as six per cent cash back.

Here’s how you can redeem the offer:

  1. Join Top Cashback and sign up here.
  2. Search for Wilko and select “Get Cashback Now”
  3. Shop on Wilko, add the blanket or spend at least £15 or more, then checkout as usual.
  4. The sign up bonus and cash back will appear in your Top Cashback account within seven days of your purchase. The cash back will become payable after Wilko’s returns period is over and they have paid Top Cashback the commission for your purchase.

The Slumberdown Electric Blanket has three heat settings, is machine washable and only 40 watts. Online, many buyers have reviewed the product positively, with more than 25 five star reviews.

Perliepat commented: “Lovely and warm! Bought this item a couple of months ago and is definitely the best under blanket I have bought.” Clerhud added: “Heats up very well when turned off - purchased a single cover and fits a standard single mattress well.”

Other energy-saving and money-saving winter warmer items recommended by Money Saving Expert include USB heat up gloves, heated insoles, USB hand warmers, electric gilet, microwavable wheat bag, hot water bottle, electric heat pad and electric footwarmer - with most costing less than 1p per hour.
