AS ENERGY costs rise, many of us are trying to resist the temptation to crank up the heating.
There are several cost-effective ways to stay warm this winter that will not increase your bill.

Here are some of the simplest.
ELECTRIC DREAMS: Use an electric blanket to heat your bed before you get in it.
According to Uswitch, electric blankets use about 100 watts for a double bed.
Using one for an hour costs about 1.9p — considerably less than boiling a 1.7-litre kettle to fill a hot water bottle.
Pick up a Daewoo double electric blanket for £20 from The Original Factory Shop, reduced from £49.99.
SAVE: £29.99
DUVET DAY: A thicker duvet will keep you toasty.
The Slumberdown winter warm 13.5 tog double duvet, left, is half price at Wilko, £11.50.
SAVE: £11.50
LAYER UP: Instead of walking around your home in a T-shirt, turn down the heating slightly and pull on a jumper and socks.
You can save 30 per cent on thermals from Damart during its Black Friday deals with code 49007. I’ve got my eyes on this long-sleeved round-neck top for £17.50, usually £25.
SAVE: £7.50
DRESS DOWN: It is the perfect excuse to get into your PJs early.
Wrap up in this flannel fleece dressing gown for £35, down from £50, at Bedroom Athletics.
SAVE: £15
