I finally caved and bought a viral blanket, I’m so glad I did, people say it ‘drastically reduced’ their heating bills
IF your home is still chilly despite rising energy bills, there is a cheaper alternative available.
A budgeting pro has shared her latest find that has helped her stay "cozy and comfy" in the cold weather.
In her video, Ashleigh (@ashleighmoneysaver) showed her followers the home product, which she called "the best item I’ve ever bought."
"I finally caved and invested in a heated throw and it’s the best thing I’ve ever owned," she told her audience.
Ashleigh purchased a luxury Sherpa fleece heated gray throw from the U.K. brand Silent Night.
Similar items are available from Amazon, including the $30 Homlyn's heated throw.
"You can heat it up, get cozy and comfy, and it’s supposed to help reduce your heating bills because technically with this you should be warmer," the TikToker explained.
"It’s absolutely massive so it’s going to keep me cozy this winter," Ashleigh told her followers.
"It’s super soft on both the inside and the outside," she said, showing viewers the fleece lining.
"There’s multiple settings for the heat so you can set the level you want and you can also set it on a timer as well," Ashleigh explained.
She advised all her viewers to invest in a heated throw to see out the winter months.
"I’ve been cuddled up with mine all day today, it’s been so cozy," she said.
"It’s by far the best thing I’ve ever bought and I’m really hoping it gets my heating bills down," Ashleigh concluded.
TikTok users took to the comments section to share their thoughts on the item.
"Drastically reduced our heating bills last year. Whenever kiddos were not there, I just put that on and only had the heating on for them," wrote one viewer.
"Word of caution on heated blankets, warm up with them but don't keep them on you for extended periods of time," said another follower.
