Supermarket chain selling ‘crates full’ of £2.80 gadget that will slash energy bills and keep you toasty this winter
TESCO is selling “crates full” of this £2.80 gadget that will slash your energy bills and keep you toasty this winter.
As temperatures plummet to the lowest of the season so far, down to an icy -14.5C in Northern Scotland – this essential could make the cold nights more bearable.
We have one savvy shopper to thank for sharing the news via the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK’s Facebook page on Sunday, January 12, 2025.
The shopper revealed that Tesco in West Bromwich, between Dudley and Birmingham, is selling a double-sized electric blanket for just £2.81.
It features three adjustable heat settings and is also an “energy efficient and affordable way to stay warm for less”, the online description reads.
In fact, shoppers can pre-heat their beds for two hours on a low heat setting costs “from as little as 1p”, the description adds.
However, it is recommended that users turn the appliance off before falling asleep.
The savvy shopper who bagged three of these blankets for a fraction of the price it’s selling for online said: “£2.81 each from Tesco West Bromwich – clearance!!
“Check your stores as there were crates full
“Update – doubles only, no other sizes were on offer to my knowledge.”
Online, Tesco is selling a double size for £25, however, it seems the West Bromwich site is having a clearance.
Hundreds of excited shoppers took to the comment section of the post.
One keen shopper said: “Wow if anyone sees these could they please get me two and I’ll pay postage to send them to me.”
And then a second said: “We need these in my house.”
Meanwhile a third commented: “We need to go asap!!!!”
To find your local store, head to Tesco’s website and click Find a Store.
There you can add your postcode, town or city, and once selected you can check stock.
But remember, just because something is on offer, or is part of a sale, it doesn’t mean it’s always a good deal.
How to compare prices to get the best deal
There are plenty of comparison websites out there that’ll check prices for you – so don’t be left paying more than you have to.
Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers.
Here are some that we recommend:
- Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web. Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results.
- Price Spy logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and the supermarkets. Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock.
- Idealo is another website that lets you compare prices between retailers. All shoppers need to do is search for the item they need and the website will rank them from the cheapest to the most expensive one.
- CamelCamelCamel only works on goods being sold on Amazon. To use it, type in the URL of the product you want to check the price of.
