Nothing puts a dampener on retail therapy like remembering utility bills, but it’s something people across the country are having to consider this Black Friday.
The cost of living crisis has put paid to ‘frivolous’ purchases for many, as rising prices for essentials means less room in the budget for those ‘just because’ buys.
If you are shopping this Cyber Weekend, the best way to get the most for your money is to go for items that you’ll use regularly – and the Oodie is definitely in that category.
The hooded wearable blanket has become super popular in recent months, as people worked out they were a perfect way to avoid turning up the heating.
With a flannel fleece exterior and sherpa fleece interior, they’re exceptional for keeping out the cold.
The brand describes the Oodie as ‘a jumper crossed with a blanket, crossed with a cloud’, which about sums it up – cosiness to the max.

If you were thinking in investing in the Facebook top-rated item, now would be a good time to do so, taking advantage of Black Friday and Cyber Monday offers.
The Oodie sale offers big reductions, so you can now get your hands on one with up to £40 off, as well as saving on the brand’s sleep tees, robes, and more.
Until November 28, the price of a range of Oodies has been slashed from £89 to £49 – and the savings get bigger when you buy bundles.
If customer reviews are anything to go by, it’s a purchase you won’t regret.

‘I live in this now – this is the comfiest thing I have ever owned,’ said one, while another wrote: ‘OMG!!! I love it, I am literally as warm as toast in it.’
The oversized fluffy garments are a favourite among budget-conscious folks too, with members of the MoneySavingExpert forum claiming they were able to reduce their energy bills by wearing one.
As the owner of an Oodie myself, I can heartily agree. The main issue with it is that I no longer want to wear anything else…
