ALDI shoppers are rushing to buy a £10 Specialbuy that can make radiators more effective and slash energy bills this winter.
With the cold weather now in full swing, Aldi has launched a bargain buy that could help you stay warm, all whilst cutting down your energy bills.
The Superfoil Radiator Reflector, which costs just £9.99, is designed to make your radiators more efficient by reducing heat loss and ensuring your home stays warmer for longer.
Available in-store only, this nifty device is a must-have for those looking to save on their heating costs this winter.
HOW IT WORKS
The Superfoil Radiator Reflector is a heat-saving product that fits behind your radiators to reflect warmth back into your room, rather than letting it escape through the walls.
Aldi claims it can cut heat loss by an impressive 86 per cent, making it a savvy choice for households trying to stay warm without cranking up the thermostat.

It’s also super easy to install. The reflector comes with built-in adhesive strips, so there’s no need for extra tools or complicated instructions.
Just cut it to fit your radiator, stick it on, and you’re good to go. The product can be used on up to three radiators, making it a budget-friendly solution for any home.
With energy bills soaring, the Superfoil Radiator Reflector offers a simple, low-cost way to boost your home’s efficiency.
By reducing the amount of heat lost through your walls, you’ll not only keep your home warmer but could also see a reduction in your energy bills over time.
Aldi’s £9.99 buy is certainly a more affordable option compared to other home insulation methods.
Plus, it’s a one-time investment – no ongoing costs, no maintenance needed. Once it’s in place, you can sit back and enjoy a warmer home without any extra effort.
HOW IT COMPARES
While Aldi’s Superfoil Radiator Reflector is only £9.99, a quick search online shows some competitors charging far more.
For example, B&Q sells radiator heat reflective foil starting at £12.00, while Amazon has options priced at £25.
That said, you can still find other affordable alternatives – Screwfix is selling 4M for £6.38 in an impressive price cut.
Although a trip to Aldi might land you with some other heat-saving goodies.
How to cut your bills
IF you’re struggling financially, you might be able to cut the cost of your bills to help you get out of the red.
Council tax: You can apply for a council tax reduction on the Gov.uk website but you’ll need to meet certain criteria. Your bill could be cut by as much as 100 per cent if you’re on a low income or claim benefits. Carers who look after someone in the household for at least 35 hours a week are also exempt from paying.
Water: Households might be able to save money by getting a water meter but it all depends on how much you’re using. To check if it’s finacially worthwhile, use the Consumer Council for Water’s free ater meter calculator.
Rent: If you have the space available and your landlord or local authority says it’s ok to do so, you might want to consider getting a flatmate. Not only will you split the cost of the rent, but also the other bills.
Hire purchase: If you’re struggling to make your repayments on your hire purchase, you can usually end the contract by returning the goods. You will have to pay all the instalments due up to the time you end the agreement but this will limit the amount you owe. Contact Citizens Advice for free for more help with this.
Gas and electricty: MoneySavingExpert says families can save £330 on average by switching from Standard Variable Tariffs (SVTs) to a better rate. Use a comparison site such as MoneySuperMarket or Energyhelpline to see what deals are available.
Mortgage: If you get into debt with your mortgage payments, don’t wait for your lender to chase you. Work out what you can afford using the Citizens Advice budgeting tool so you can discuss your payment options moving forward with your mortgage provider.
Secured Loan: Your secured loan might be covered by the Consumer Credit Act and if it is, you may be able to apply for a Time Order. This is a special agreement by the courts allowing you more time to make payments. Secured loans not covered by the Consumer Credit Act include gas, electricity or water meters, payments that need to be written off in full, mortgages, credit union loans, loans from an employer and some short term trade agreements.
County Court Judgements: If you receive a County Court claim form talk to a free debt advice service straight away. This includes Citizens Advice (0808 800 9060), StepChange (0800 138 1111) and the National Debtline (0808 808 4000).
TV licence: Some households are eligible for a reduced fee or free TV Licence. Check here to see if you are entitled to a reduced or free rate.
