Captioning the picture, the shopper wrote: "After Martin Lewis recommendations for keeping warm and using electric blankets if you only need to be warm in one room...bingo. £35 Aldi."
The post has since received over 5,000 comments, including others who bought it and "absolutely love it!"
One shopper said: "I've got one of these and it's lush, so comfy and warm even without turning it on!"
It comes after gas and electricity prices surged by 54 per cent at the start of April - the biggest rise in energy costs in living memory. On the same day, MPs in the house of commons saw their salaries increase by over £2,000 to £84,144, because their work "dramatically" increased in the last year, an independent watchdog said.
And in a double whammy from the Tory party, National Insurance increased to 13.5 per cent this month - seeing workers and employers pay 1.25 per cent more tax than before while inflation is at its highest level in 30 years. As a result, Brits are resorting to buying electric blankets to reduce heating costs and even setting up fundraisers asking for financial help.
Aldi's heated blankets are currently out of stock on the website - but you may be able to find one in your local store if you're in luck.
