SHOPPERS are raving about a winter essential that could help to keep the heating bills down.<\/p>\n
One woman recently invested in an Oodie and says she instantly felt "boiling hot" when she put it on.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Oodie is a soft wearable blanket that has soared in popularity in recent years as people look for cheaper ways to stay warm at home.<\/p>\n
The original Oodie can retail for up to \u00a389 and wearing one is described as feeling like you are "hugging a sheep".<\/p>\n
But there are also a lot of cheaper ones out there and many retailers have their own versions.<\/p>\n
However, one savvy shopper who posted in the "Scrimping on a Budget" Facebook group said she thinks it's worth shelling out on the original.<\/p>\n
She wrote: "I know it's not the cheapest thing to buy but I decided to treat myself to an Oodie whilst they have a sale on.<\/p>\n "I'm hoping to save a lot on heating bills by wearing it this winter."<\/p>\n She went on to say that she "researched cheaper copies" but that the branded ones are made of "better-insulating fabrics" and in her opinion, it is worth paying a little extra for.<\/p>\n She added: "It came this morning and I tried it on and instantly felt boiling hot and had to take it off! I'm all set for winter with the radiators turned down low."<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Other shoppers rushed to the comments to share their opinions on the cozy winter accessory.<\/p>\n One person said: "I got a mid-quality one. Had it as a gift and it's really warm.<\/p>\n "Could be a bit longer perhaps, but I can wear it while doing chores."<\/p>\n Another added: "I have a cheaper version and survived the last two winters without heating, so cheap doesn't always mean rubbish."<\/p>\n While another said: "I bought my daughter a Primark one too, the difference in quality is massive.<\/p>\n "When I washed them both, the Primark one dried overnight and the real one took six days to dry, she loves it."<\/p>\n Another shopper was also pleased with her cheaper version that cost just \u00a310, she said: "I bought a \u00a310 one from online home store, its floor length and ridiculously hot."<\/p>\n As with everything it is always best to shop around to make sure you are getting the cheapest deal and the product that is right for you.<\/p>\n The Oodie website also has bundle offers if you buy more than one and at the time we checked had \u00a325 off most of the items in the range.<\/p>\n We searched Google for "Oodie dupes" to see what other retailers are offering a similar product.<\/p>\n Dunelm has a version that is described as a Teddy oversized blanket hoodie and it is priced at \u00a316 online.<\/p>\n New Look also has a version priced at \u00a329.99 and Matalan has a snuggle hoodie that is \u00a315 down from \u00a319 at the time we checked.<\/p>\n Primark has their own version called the "Sunddie" with prices ranging from \u00a310 for kids to \u00a318 for an adult size.<\/p>\n Recently Oodie revealed a new range that will be popular among fans of Disney.<\/p>\n One person did an Oodie review and was instantly converted to the "toasty" winter accessory.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, if a wearable blanket is not your thing, there are other cost-effective ways to keep warm in winter.<\/p>\n Dunelm shoppers have recently been rushing to buy a "life-saver" winter gadget to avoid putting the heating on.<\/p>\n We also put together a list of other\u00a0money-saving gadgets\u00a0that could help you cut costs during the winter.<\/p>\n<\/picture>LOVIN' IT <\/span><\/p>\n
