WHAT lengths would you go to to save money on your household bills?
With the cost of living crisis at its peak, the price of gas and electricity is going through the roof and Brits are trying the craziest things to cut down their energy bills.
Keeping warm is one of the biggest bugbears – especially with little ones at home – when heating costs a bomb.
While we don dressing gowns, wrap ourselves up in blankets and fill up hot water bottles to stay toasty, one man has taken things to the next level with a full-on bodysuit and zip-up booties.
A TikTok user, who calls himself The Jungle Badger, posted a short clip of one of his favourite cost of living hacks.
Over two million people have watched so far and while he says his bodysuit is ‘like never getting out of bed’, they’re not so convinced.

The man’s video begins with him turning down his home thermostat.
“Instead of turning your heating on, get this,” he urges, holding up a bright blue package.
The man unrolls what looks like a sleeping bag, but viewers soon realise it’s a thick bodysuit.
“It’s a sleeping bag onesie with zip-on booties so you can get on with your daily tasks while staying warm,” he explains.

Viewers can see him sorting laundry, cooking and working at a desk in the onesie.
“Plus when you use it outside, people give you jealous looks,” he adds, as the video shows him browsing in a supermarket aisle.
Unfortunately, the man’s cosy onesie didn’t get a warm reaction.
Instead, trolls made jokes, with one chiming: “I’m not sure it’s jealous looks dude.”

A second replied: “I know we’re all in this together but UK taking it a bit far aye?”
And a third remarked: “We are living in a hellscape.”
Others noted the cost of the onesie, which may be more than some monthly heating bills.
“The sleeping bag onesies are like 60 quid minimum,” shared one outraged user.
“Just put a jumper on,” said another.
In the clip, the man also suggests an under-door draught excluder which stops draughts from coming through the gaps.
But that received a poor reception, too.
“The door didn’t shut,” laughed an unimpressed man.
“The amount of money I’m spending on hacks, I might as well pay for the heating,” exclaimed a woman.
“That draft excluder doesn’t work as I have it,” replied a final disgruntled shopper.
