As the cost of living looms upon us, many Brits are on the lookout for cheaper ways to stay warm and save up on bills.
Luckily, a money-saver shared an affordable heated blanket that can keep you cosy throughout the night.
The influencer, who lives inside her car, said the item is much better than an electric heater – as it doesn’t drain the batteries.
On the video she said: “The nights are still cold here in Canada and I recently upgraded my power station.

“To stay warm camping I tried using a portable power station, and even with 1200 Watts, the battery would have drained in one hour.
“The most basic electric heater on high, which was too much for the battery station so I kept it on low.”
While the driver doesn’t reveal where her products are from, an electric heater from B&M can cost you only £15.
But the Tiktoker claims the buy doesn’t work as well in your car as alternatives.

She added: “Even still, it would have died in just over an hour. Plus objects can burn if they are within 2ft.
“For this reason, I’d recommend a heated blanket instead.”
Madison said the gadget is “more efficient” than a regular plug one.
“Mine can last through the night and more than eight hours. The next day I plug my power station into my car’s cigarette outlet and charge it as I drive to the next spot,” she added.
Footage shows the woman laying down with her dog under the warm blanket.
The influencer said: “I just curl up with my dog. We usually shiver together, but this is a great idea.
“My dog appreciated it. Since he won’t stay under a sleeping bag.”
You can buy a Double Silentnight Winter Warmer Electric Blanket for £30 from B&M – or a single one for £25.

One user said: “So smart. I’m going to get one. My dog gets really cold and sleeps on my head usually.”
