5 Money Saving Tips for Fall/Winter
1. Make your home draught-free
It takes time and money to heat your home, so it’s important to do as much as you can to keep the heat in. Close your doors and windows and fill any gaps with draught excluder.
2. Turn down your thermostat
According to Energy UK, turning down your thermostat by just one degree Celsius could reduce your heating bill by 10% and save you around £85 a year. And if you don’t have a thermostat, you could save up to £70 a year by installing one!
3. Move furniture
Make sure that there are no large, bulky pieces of furniture, such as sofas, in front of the radiators.
4. Wash the clothes at a lower temperature and add an extra spin
Unless you are dealing with bedding, towels or really dirty clothes, turn the temperature down to 20 or 30 degrees and swirl the machine twice to remove excess water.
5. Heat the person, not the house
There is no point in heating a room where no one is sitting, so pay close attention to which radiators are on.
Although the reviews were mostly positive, there was also criticism, with one person claiming that the leggings were “certainly not thermal”.
”I expected them to be thick and fleece lined as advised, but they are really thin.
“I can’t imagine these will keep me warm in the winter! Very disappointed!”
Someone else agreed, writing: ”The fleece lining is so thin, I would have been better off wearing my other, unlined leggings.
