Lidl reveals bargain £25 heated throw to stay warm all night and is cheaper than heating

LIDL has revealed a heated throw that will keep you warm all night – for the bargain price of £25.

Amid expensive energy bills and cuts to Winter Fuel Payments, the cosy blanket could even see you save on your heating.

Advertised on Lidl’s website as the Silentnight Luxury Heated Throw, the electric blanket is made out of a warm fleece material.

It has nine settings, “ultra fast heat up” technology and “overheat safety protection” – an important function for those wanting to use the product while they sleep.

This means the blanket, which also has a three-year warranty, can regulate its own temperature and will shut itself off if things get too hot.

And, the throw’s normal £45 price tag will be slashed to £24.99 on Sunday November 24 as part of the supermarket giant’s huge Black Friday sale.

But shoppers will need to be quick if they want to bag the bargain, as it will only be available in stores for a limited time in stores.

You can find your nearest Lidl branch by using the store locator tool on its website.

Black Friday is an annual shopping day on which retailers offer deals across tech, beauty, fashion, broadband and home.

It always falls on the Friday after Thanksgiving, conveniently in peak Christmas shopping season, but sales often drop a week or so early.

How much does it cost compared to heating?

The throw could be a perfect solution for households worrying about energy bills this winter.

These are now set to rise by 1% to £1,736, according to Cornwall Insight.

And Labour’s decision to means-test Winter Fuel Payments will leave many homes without financial support amid rising costs – although some may qualify for a £300 cash boost through the Household Support Fund.

Luckily, the electric blanket costs just 3p to run per hour, using 100W of energy.

This is much cheaper than heating your house, which could cost around 6.4p per kW/hr for gas or 24.5p per kW/hr for electricity.

How does it compare to other electric blankets?

Lidl’s comforting throw is even cheaper than Aldi’s version, which retails for £29.99.

Aldi’s Ambiano Heated Throw, which has nine settings, comes in a snowy white, cool grey, and toasty charcoal.

It is also cheaper’s than Asda‘s £30 electric teddy fleece.

Household Support Fund explained

Sun Savers Editor Lana Clements explains what you need to know about the Household Support Fund.

If you’re battling to afford energy and water bills, food or other essential items and services, the Household Support Fund can act as a vital lifeline.

The financial support is a little-known way for struggling families to get extra help with the cost of living.

Every council in England has been given a share of £421million cash by the government to distribute to local low income households.

Each local authority chooses how to pass on the support. Some offer vouchers whereas others give direct cash payments.

In many instances, the value of support is worth hundreds of pounds to individual families.

Just as the support varies between councils, so does the criteria for qualifying.

Many councils offer the help to households on selected benefits or they may base help on the level of household income.

The key is to get in touch with your local authority to see exactly what support is on offer.

And don’t delay, the scheme has been extended until April 2025 but your council may dish out their share of the Household Support Fund before this date.

Once the cash is gone, you may find they cannot provide any extra help so it’s crucial you apply as soon as possible.

Boxer who KO’d Lennox Lewis gets back in the ring at 59 vs 54-year-old in pro fight days after Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson

And this will be an officially sanctioned professional fight between the two boxing veterans in Tennessee.

This takes place just four days after the controversial bout between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul.

Tyson, 58, returned to the ring against a much younger Paul, 27, and the heavyweight legend was defeated by the YouTuber via unanimous decision at the AT&T Stadium in Texas.

The fight received immense criticism as Iron Mike’s advanced age and ring rust were both exposed.

But that didn’t stop McCall getting back in the ring despite being one year older than Tyson.

The American picked up a famous victory over Lewis in 1994 as he knocked the British-Canadian star out and became WBC heavyweight champion.

The Atomic Bull currently holds an impressive record of 59 wins and only 14 losses in 75 fights.

And some fans were not too pleased after the disappointment they witnessed between Tyson and Paul.

One boxing enthusiast tweeted: “Jake Paul will fight the winner.”

Another commented: “What the hell is happening to the sport??”

And that one wrote: “Such a shame all this.”

Paul vs Tyson shocking punch stats

THE punch stats from Mike Tyson’s defeat to Jake Paul made for “sad” reading.

Veteran Iron Mike, 58, started strongly enough in his Netflix boxing fight with the former YouTuber.

But he simply ran out of gas within the first few minutes of the eight-round contest.

In the 16 minutes of action, the former undisputed heavyweight world champion landed just 18 punches – averaging just 2.25 successful hits per round.

In total, he only attempted 97, meaning he made contact with just 18 per cent.

By comparison, Paul, 27, threw a whopping 278 punches – nearly 200 more than his ageing opponent – but still only landed 78 for a success rate of 28 per cent despite his opponent barely moving.

His most explosive round came in the third when the victorious Problem Child attempted 44 punches and connected with 16 of them.

However, a woeful fifth round saw just four punches landed between the pair as the quality failed to live up to the hype and Paul refused to go for the knockout.
