Martin Lewis' team share cheap heating hack costing 'less than 1p an hour'

Martin Lewis' team at MoneySavingExpert have shared a cheap heating solution as the UK braces for cold weather. Costing less than 1p an hour to run, MSE has recommended USB-heated gloves.

The MoneySavingExpert team suggest that these gloves, costing around £14 upfront, could be a great way to stay warm. If used for five hours a day, they would cost about 4p a week.

You can find these winter warmers on Amazon for £13.99 a pair, or on Wowcher for £6.99. The Yinuoday USB Heated Gloves are a popular choice with over 1,000 reviews, reports the Daily Record.

He added: "So don't see this as an 'MSE or Martin says you should do this'.
