Beat the winter blues and SAVE while your at it with these cosy bargains — plus win TWO free Madame Tussauds tickets
HURRAH! Today the clocks go back, so we all get an extra hour in bed.
But that also means winter is around the corner and I am thinking how much harder it will be getting up in the mornings.
Here is how to bounce out of bed and save as you do it . . .
SHINING EXAMPLE: Wake-up lights can cost up to £200 but I have tracked down a few cheaper options online. Vadiv’s alarm clock has dozens of five-star reviews and is just £23.99 on Amazon. SAVE: £176 on a wake-up light.
SLIP’N’SAVE: One of the woes of winter is getting out of bed and putting your feet on a cold floor. George at Asda is selling men’s and women’s slippers from £4. But I’ll be snapping up its £7 Ugg dupes. The originals are an eye-watering £80, so you will be saving more than £70. SAVE: £73 on slippers
THAT’S MINT: Showering with a mint body wash will wake up your whole body. Boots’ 75p Zingy Mint & Tea Tree Shower Gel is a great dupe of Original Source’s Mint Shower Gel, which can set you back as much as £1.95. SAVE: £1.20 on shower gel
DON’T COFF UP: Caffeine is a sure-fire way to get rid of grogginess. If you don’t have time to neck a cup before heading out, invest in Salter’s Coffee On The Go Maker from amazon.co.uk. With a detachable travel mug, all you have to do is brew your coffee and pop it in your bag. Plus, it’s currently reduced from an RRP of £39.99 to £17.49. SAVE: £22.50
WATER GOOD TIP: This is a super-easy trick. Put a glass of water by your bed and drink it as soon as you wake up. It will rehydrate you and make you feel more alert. Plus you will save on your usual orange juice or smoothie. SAVE: Approximately £1 on orange juice
