Cheap Warm Blanket

Something for everyone looking to reduce heating costs.

Lidl are selling fleece blankets/throws for £8.99 each. I've got one over my legs at the moment and it's lovely and cosy. They had loads of colours/designs to choose from. It's just a nice size for the sofa, and highly recommended.
Here I go again on my own....

    they're about 2m x 1.5m and they're lovely and warm as well

    i bought 3 so we could all have one each....when the kids say put the heating on i just tell them to stop moaning and put their blanket on....they dont like it if i offer one to their friends tho when they come round!! :rotfl:

    B & M? Does this stand for anything, and are they only to be found in certain areas?

  • B&M are found in the North - similar to Home Bargains, but in our case a bigger store,especially useful since our Poundstretcher closed :confused:

    Lidl stuff is usually worth the money so if it felt especially cuddly it probably was! I'm off sick with a sniffy cold at present but I shall be down to Lidl asap to check them out.

  • Can't go wrong with fleece, especially with kids as it washes well and dries so quickly. I got some lovely large fleece throws in Primark about 4 years ago and they're still going strong.
