Save money on your energy bills with these cold weather tips
You can find your local Farmfoods by using the locator tool on the supermarket’s website.
While bagging a bargain is tempting, remember that you are only saving money if it is something you need in the first place.
If you are buying something just because it is on offer you are not necessarily saving money.
Also, it is good to shop around too especially at this time of year as prices and stock levels can change daily.
The Sun put Oodie dupes from Primark, Asda and Silentnight to avoid putting the heating on.

But remember if you need order it online, you’ll have to add on a small fee for delivery.
Marks and Spencer sells a variety of hooded blankets ranging from £25 to £59.

How can I save on my supermarket shop?
THERE are plenty of ways to save on your grocery shop.
You can look out for yellow or red stickers on products, which show when they’ve been reduced.
If the food is fresh, you’ll have to eat it quickly or freeze it for another time.
Making a list should also save you money, as you’ll be less likely to make any rash purchases when you get to the supermarket.
Going own brand can be one easy way to save hundreds of pounds a year on your food bills too.
This means ditching “finest” or “luxury” products and instead going for “own” or value” type of lines.
Plenty of supermarkets run wonky veg and fruit schemes where you can get cheap prices if they’re misshapen or imperfect.
For example, Lidl runs its Waste Not scheme, offering boxes of 5kg of fruit and vegetables for just £1.50.
If you’re on a low income and a parent, you may be able to get up to £442 a year in Healthy Start vouchers to use at the supermarket too.
Plus, many councils offer supermarket vouchers as part of the Household Support Fund.
