Kat Pearson joined the money-saving Facebook group Extreme Coupons and Bargains UK and shared a photo of the 'body wrap hot water bottle' she bought from her local Aldi.
Alongside the photo she wrote: “I bought my teenage daughter one of these hot water bottles you wear (Koala) on TikTok and tonight I saw Aldi now had them in too for £6.99 so I bought one for myself .”
The winter essential can hold up to one liter of water and is perfect for anyone looking to stay warm for less this winter.
The product description reads: “Back warmer with adjustable waist turn-over, equipped with cost pocket for hands.
“Great for use on back, stomach, neck and shoulders.”

A third tagged a friend and said: “This could be good for your back!”
Meanwhile, a fourth commented: “We need these!! Xx”
Another said: “Brilliant for cramps.”
Another chimed in: “I absolutely love mine! I usually wear it over my work sweater and as soon as it starts to get warm I put it underneath but it makes me look like I'm six months pregnant.”

Elsewhere, others noted that the bargain buy is extremely useful for those standing outside in the freezing cold cheering on their kids from the sidelines.
