'I used Martin Lewis's simple radiator trick and it slashed my bills in minutes'

As the chill sets in, savvy savers are on the hunt for cost-effective ways to keep their homes snug.

A clever hack, recently shared by TikTok user Sam Calver, thanks to the advice of money saving expert Martin Lewis, could be just what the winter ordered.

In an enlightening video, he says it's a tip everyone ought to know about, revealing the substantial difference it's made to his bills.

Sam shared: "I can't believe I've only just found out about this central heating trick. All I seem to be doing is turning the heating up all the time, but I saw Martin Lewis talking about the radiator foil hack, and I had to give it a go."

He added: "I grabbed myself some radiator savers – actually really cheap and you get about five metres of it. You just cut it to size, slide it down the back of your radiator, and it now reflects the heat from your radiator back into the room rather than seeping through your walls. It means you can have your heating on less and save a lot of money over time."

The video has resonated with many, amassing numerous likes, and people also took the time to share their thoughts.

Amongst the feedback, one user exclaimed: "I done the whole room - walls, roof - even the windows. I honestly know how the Xmas turkey feels sitting in its tin foil all day. Very warm, but very dark."

Another wrote: "It works well. Done it since the 80s. Also, put thick aluminium foil on the ceiling. The room becomes even warmer as you don't lose heat to the flat upstairs." And a third also added: "People have been doing this for donkeys years."

The cost-cutting strategy was highlighted by Martin Lewis back in 2022 during an episode of the Martin Lewis Money Show Live. He explained that placing foil behind radiators can help
