Shoppers have discovered a £7 winter weather buy that can save hundreds on electricity bills by replacing central heating during cold nights.
Sleep brand Silentnight has cut the price of an electric blanket that it says heats up in less than 10 minutes and costs just 1p an hour to run but shoppers have discovered an extra saving to bring the price down even further. The blanket is usually priced at £35 but Silentnight has cut the price to £28 in a pre-Christmas sale.
A deals website is allowing shoppers to buy the under blanket for less than £7 using an online cashback deal. Topcashback is offering all new customers the Silentnight heated blanket for just £6.83 when they sign up to Topcashback and buy the blanket. The deal works by offering new customers £20 in cashback plus an extra 5% on the heated blanket. You can get the deal here.
The blanket, the second best-seller on Argos, has secured rave reviews from shoppers during the colder weather. One reviewer says: "I bought this electric blanket about a month ago. This blanket has kept me warm through these cold nights. Plus for me is that no back ache in the morning."
Another added: "We have a few electric blankets, this one is very easy to use, quick to fit, would buy again."

While a third said: "We bought this electric blanket to warm up a single bed for guests visiting, the lowest setting is perfect so gosh knows what the top one would be like! Fits easily on the bed and great to use. Fantastic that you can unplug and wash in the washing machine easily."
Argos is not the only brand selling heated blankets that can keep heating bills down. Mirror Choice reviewer Bethan Shufflebotham tried the £59.99 Lakeland heated throw in a recent product test on the Mirror.
She said: "Originally £99.99, the and has helped warm me up while keeping heating bills down. And for what it could save you on your energy bills, it will surely pay for itself in no time at all.
" says a heated throw is ‘very economical’, costing ‘as little as 5p an hour to run’, especially when you compare them with the cost of keeping your central heating on for hours or heating rooms you’re not actually using."
