<\/p>\n
With winter approaching many people will be starting to get a little worried about the rising cost of bills.<\/p>\n
One of the things that becomes a lot harder to do in the winter without using more energy is drying clothes.<\/p>\n
This means that the heating may need to be on for longer, or if you need to start using your tumble dryer.<\/p>\n
Either way, this is all going to add to the cost of your energy bill at a time when money is already tight.<\/p>\n
According to Uswitch a tumble dryer using a 2.5kWh per cycle would be 68p per cycle.<\/p>\n However, there is one way you can try and cut back on laundry costs and that is with a heated airer.<\/p>\n Using this nifty gadget could save you hundreds of pounds a year on your energy bill and Lidl is launching one soon that costs just 6p to run.<\/p>\n Initially, it might seem like a bit of an outlay as the airer will set you back \u00a344.99 but it could turn out to be a good investment in the long term.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The Minky 12M heated airer launches in Lidl on October 19 and if it is anything like Aldi's sell-out airer you will need to be quick to get your hands on one.<\/p>\n The item is described on the Lidl website as being "lightweight and sturdy".<\/p>\n It has 12m of drying space and holds 16k of laundry which equates to one load of washing.<\/p>\n It is also easy to fold away and comes with a one-year warranty.<\/p>\n While you cannot buy online with Lidl you can find your nearest store by using the store locator tool on the website.<\/p>\n As always it is good to shop around the make sure you are getting the cheapest deal.<\/p>\n You can use sites such as Google Shopping to compare items from different retailers.<\/p>\n We did a round-up of the cheapest places to buy heated airers this week, including Aldi and The Range.<\/p>\n There are a few things you can put in place if you are worried about soaring bills in the winter.<\/p>\n You can buy a roll of draught-proofing tape to put around the gaps in your doors and windows for around \u00a35 off Amazon.<\/p>\n According to the Energy Saving Trust, this could save you around \u00a345 a year on your energy bills.<\/p>\n Remembering to close your curtains when you put the heating on can also help to keep the precious heat in your home, and remember to close any windows.<\/p>\n Just turning your\u00a0thermostat\u00a0down by just one degree can be another easy way to save \u00a3100 a year.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/150-expected-two-years-due-850222342.jpg\")
