A standard Oodie will usually set back a whopping £89 which is an awful lot of money to spend on something that shouldn't be seen outside the confines of your home.

Keeping warm this winter
There are a few tricks you can use to stay as warm as possible this winter.
Grab a hot water bottle, they are always great for a cost-free way of keeping warm.
If you've got a few pennies to spare consider buying an Electric blankets. They are another great way to keep warm and most cost around 3p an hour to run.
Don't forget about preventative measures, draught-proof your home and seal your windows to stop air coming in.

Loft insulation is also very important as it can stop heat escaping, therefore slashing your heating bill.
