WITH energy bills continuing to soar, it's no surprise that people are on the hunt for cheap and cheerful buys to stay warm this winter.
From savvy hacks to cosy household purchases, families are finding clever ways to keep the heating off amid the cost of living crisis.
And one budget store is set to send shoppers into a frenzy with their £4.99 bargain buy that is guaranteed to keep you warm.
Home Store and More is Ireland's leading independent homeware retailer with 23 stores.
But with only two of them in the UK – one in East Kilbride, Lanarkshire and the other located in Edinburgh – shoppers have said the bargain chain is the hidden gem that they didn't realise existed.
Shoppers are stunned they've never heard of it before, with some dubbing it the new B&M.
One said: "Omg this is like B&M meets The Range."
A second wrote: "I never knew this existed omg. I’m getting straight in the car there hahaha."
Meanwhile, a third added: "Move over B&M, am coming for you Home Store and More."
And the budget store has launched thick and cosy socks in teddy fleece material to keep customers toasty this winter.
