There are plenty of electric blankets on the market at the moment but you are not likely to get one for a price this low.
In Argos, prices start from £30 but they can go up to a whopping £170.
You might be surprised to learn that beauty and health retailer Boots also sells winter gadgets but you’ll have to fork out a minimum of £30 for those too.
Bear in mind prices may vary in stores and you will need to factor in a delivery charge of at least £3.95.
Tips to stay warm this winter
There are other affordable ways you can stay warm this winter.
Hot water bottles are still a great investment, they are always great for a cost-free way of keeping warm.
Don’t forget about preventative measures, draught-proof your home and seal your windows to stop cold air from coming in.
Prices for draught excludes start from a fiver in most stores but a thick blanket rolled up next to a draughty door will work just as well.
Loft insulation is also very important as it can stop heat escaping, therefore slashing your heating bill.
You can buy insulation from all local builder merchants or retailers such as B&Q and Wickes.
