GET set for winter while the sun is still shining.

Buying out-of-season on items such as heated blankets means you may get a better deal.

With energy bills still high, you’ will make savings as soon as the autumn chill starts to kick in.

Look out for deals, like those on Knauf loft roll at Wickes, where you can get up to £7 off per roll.

BED DOWN: Getting ready for colder nights is the last thing most people are thinking about right now, which means that some electric blankets are going for a song.
