Tesco is selling two-pack hand warmers for just 25p and claims they will last up to two hours. 

The hand warmers use iron, activated carbon and water, which when exposed to air will cause the warmers to heat up. 

If you slot one in a pair of gloves or a pocket they warm and cosy cocoon for your hands.

Shoppers have left rave reviews about the handy gadgets online.

One user said: “I love how it heats up quickly and gives you warmth.”

“I took these to Finland in January when it was -25 they’re brilliant.” said someone else. 

“They actually last 10 hours,” said another. 

Tesco has said the hand warmers have been reduced to clear, so you will want to act fast if you hope to get your hands on these. 

Prices may vary from store to store and you may need to search a few before you find one.

You can find your nearest store by using the Tesco store locator tool on its website.

If you can’t manage to get to a Tesco with this deal Boots sell the same hand warmer for £1.

Amazon all sell the gadgets in bulk though prices may vary.

As always it is good to shop around to make sure you are getting the cheapest deal.

Tips for keeping warm this winter

There are plenty of other affordable ways you can stay warm this in colder weather.

Get yourself a hot water bottle, you can them in lots of different shapes and sizes.

They are always great for a cost-free way of keeping warm.

It’s also worth checking if you are eligible for free electric blankets.

Major energy firms have been giving away free electric blankets and money-saving gadgets as part of customer support packages.

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.

Seal up any draughty windows with easy-to-use draught excluders, prices for them start at £1.99 and they could save up to £70 on your energy bills.

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.
