'I wanted an Oodie, but couldn't justify the price': The £13 hooded blanket more than 9,800 shoppers use to keep central heating off

October is just a few days away which means the weather is rapidly beginning to cool. If you are already feeling the chill or know that you will very soon, you may be thinking about ways to keep warm without forking out a chunk on central heating.

Luckily, we've stumbled across a version available on Amazon that is 'just as good' as an Oodie but at a fraction of the cost. Those who picked up the Sienna Hooded Blanket say it is 'so comfortable and warm' as well as being 'extremely good for money'.
