Savvy shoppers have come across a budget way to keep your home warm.

As the winter weather rages on and the UK is gripped by storms, Brits across the country are trying to stay cosy at home. It might seem simple: grab a blanket or a thick pair of socks and snuggle up on the sofa, but if your home is prone to draughts, it might feel like you're never quite warm enough no matter what you do

Given the worries about the cost of living and energy bills, many people are understandably concerned about having their heating on for extended periods, especially if they can still feel cold draughts even when their radiators are switched on.

There is one solution available to you if your home is draughty, and it's garnered some serious praise from Argos shoppers, who say it has "really helped in the cold weather" keep the heat inside their homes. The budget buy has left them nice and snug on the cold evenings we are currently experiencing.

The product - a Thermal Door Curtain - is currently on sale and is an absolute steal on the Argos website, only setting you back a mere £12.50, reduced by 50 percent from its original price. The 100 percent polyester curtain could really help limit the impact of draughts in your home, without requiring you to keep your central heating system on any longer than you are comfortable with and helping you keep costs down.

The money-saving cutrain is cut from a "thick material" and is fully lined, according to the product description, so it "keeps the warm in and the cold out". It can also provide you with some extra privacy - particularly if there are any glass panels in your home's doors - and "darken the room" all while you "spend less on the central heating."

You can grab this curtain in a range of colours: there's a subtle cream shade for those who prefer a timeless look, a bold forest green that is perfect for adding a statement shade to your home, a practical and hard-wearing charcoal grey, and an understated super light grey shade available. Not only that but you also have the option of two sizes depending on which draughty area you are planning to target.

Those who purchased one of these thermal curtains were seriously happy with the results, with over 200 shoppers leaving five-star reviews for the product. One wrote "This curtain...has completely changed my life" and another noted, "These are an ideal size and I can already feel the difference."
