    If you are poor and live in a shit house, get one of those wearable blanket things (preferably a thicker, more expensive one) and some ugg boots (again, the best quality you can afford). You won’t need heating with this combination.

      I have the OG Oodie, but there’s some cheaper versions around.

      A hot water bottle is also essential. Buy another for pre-heating the bed at night.

        I have an OG one too - wearing it right now, in fact! You can get them very cheap now at Kmart and the like but they definitely feel a lot thinner than the original. They’re not always as long, either.
