Linus Has a Frugal Tip With His Blanket Obsession

High heating bills have forced me to turn the thermostat way down and be creative.

Electric blankets belong on the bed, right? Not in my house.
I got a clue from Linus. Like him, I transport my (electric) blanket with me from room to room.

• Studying at the computer – blankie is with me.
• Reading on the chair- blankie is with me.
• Watching TV on the couch – blankie is with me.
• Cold head? No worries, I won’t use it as a head covering.

Just be sure to read the safety tips for your blanket.
Below are a few of them.

• Replace it if it’s more than 10 years old.
• Don’t tuck it into the mattress.
• Check it over for signs of wear, and broken/frayed cords.
• Best to use it as a top blanket only.

Chip loves the blanket as much as I do. He’s  not too happy when I scootch him over so I can have some of the heat.
