Lakeland’s heated airer that costs 8p to run is £60 off for Black Friday as Arctic blast hits UK
With winter approaching and heating use expected to rise yet again, many households are looking for affordable ways to stay warm.
Heated airers, dehumidifiers, electric blankets and hot water bottles can all help cut down on energy usage and ease pressure on monthly bills.
Models, such as the Dry:Soon Deluxe 3-Tier Heated Clothes Airer, cost just 8p to run as opposed to 65p for a standard tumble dryer.
They can help cut laundry costs by reducing the need to use a tumble dryer, an appliance that money-saving expert Martin Lewis previously branded a 'demon appliance' due to its high running costs.

As the UK is set for a colder week, temperatures continuing to drop and icy, snowy conditions forecast for some regions, tips for staying warm this winter without relying on central heating are essential.
According to the Met Office, dense fog developed under high pressure at the beginning of November, but a shift to northerly winds will bring in the cold Arctic air.
Many have linked this back to the Polar vortex, an annual phenomenon observed by scientists that causes a band of strong winds that surrounds the polar regions.
However, an 'unusual' disruption could have an unexpected impact on UK this year due to major changes in the stratosphere.
Using a dehumidifier rather than turning the heating up high can enable you to save around £325 per year on your heating bill, according to the dehumidifier company, EBAC.
