As temperatures plummet across the UK, Brits will no doubt be looking for cost-effective ways to fight the cold without turning up the heating this winter.

And to help us all thaw, Aldi has launched four must-have items that will help keep you feeling toasty throughout the chilly season - including neck and foot warmers.

The supermarket chain's gadgets - now available in stores across the nation - are described as both energy-efficient and affordable.

For £16.99, shoppers can treat themselves to any of the three products from Aldi's Heating Assortment.

The Neck & Back Heating Pad has nine temperature settings to achieve the perfect level of warmth, and it's also machine washable at 30C.

In comparison, similar devices such as the Dreamland Heated Neck & Shoulder Pad, sold at John Lewis, retail at a much steeper £46.96.

Aldi's Foot Warmer is foldable, making it easy to store, and also boasts nine temperature settings for optimum warmth.

Meanwhile, its Lumbar Belt promises an adjustable fit for custom comfort, and is also fitted with nine temperature settings. Each of the products are 220 to 240V.

Shoppers can also get their hands on the Rechargeable Hot Water Bottle that stays warm for two to three hours - and heats up in just 15 minutes - for only £12.99.

The cosy essentials can work as holiday gifts for friends and family this Christmas season - or for yourself if you want to feel that extra bit warmer.

It comes as Aldi shoppers were also racing to buy a viral £3.49 red wine dupe following its return to shelves after it initially sold out in just four days.

One that sold out in record time in 2023 was the Specially Selected Cairanne that was snapped up in under a week last year.

It was back with a bang earlier this month at the lowered price of just £3.49, which was a whopping 58 per cent off its regular price of £8.49.

A rich and layered red, bursting with aromas of forest fruits, plums, black cherry, and damsons, this variety of Cotes du Rhone wine boasts a decadent mocha and spice finish.

Last year, wine expert Jane MacQuitty wrote in The Times that the wine was a 'present to the nation', leading to much anticipation over its return.

'A superior garrigue soil southern rhône red, with masses of cracked black pepper fruit, for just £3.49 rather than £8.99. Set an alert in your calendars,' she wrote.

An Aldi insider previously revealed to Grocer Magazine that the supermarket was actually 'losing money' on the deal due to having to pay VAT and other taxes.

VAT accounted for around 58p of each bottle sold, while Alcohol Duty added £2.23 or £2.67 per bottle, depending on whether it was purchased before or after the duty increase that came into force in August 2023.

The individual said: 'Anything under £5 is a very sharp promotion; for Aldi to be all the way down at £3.49 feels out of kilter with what's needed to drive a profitable category.'
