I’m a money-saving guru & my simple 30p hack helps me keep the heating off for way longer
WITH the cost-of-living crisis causing energy bills to soar, people are looking for clever ways to cut back on costs.
And according to one money-saving guru, there’s a quick and easy way you can make your rooms warmer without spending any more money on heating.
The answer? A roll of 30p kitchen tin foil.
TikTok user @the.cosyclub, who regularly shares cheap house hacks online, shared a video where he quipped: “Gas companies are going to hate this life hack.”
In the clip, he suggests “grabbing your tin foil” and wrapping it around “an old piece of cardboard” to make it “more sturdy.”
Then, he says to simply place it behind the back of the radiator and “enjoy the heat.”

The quick and easy method works by reflecting heat back into the room rather than allowing it to escape through the walls of the house.
Alternatively, there is specialist radiator foil available which costs around £7 a roll from the likes of B&Q.
