Shoppers who want to snuggle down and save some money on their heating bills can pick up the cosy item for 55% less than its usual price of £17.
One happy customer hailed the item as the “snuggliest hoodie EVER” while another said it was “amazing for the price and means I can turn the heating right down“.
The supersoft hoodie comes in 10 different colours but the offer is limited to charcoal grey, blush pink and silver grey.
It is made from 100% polyester and has a snuggly sherpa lining.
You can snap up this offer from the Online Home Shop website from now until midnight on Thursday, November 13.
The original Oodie can retail for up to £90 but its prices have also been reduced in an early Black Friday sale.
Currently, original Oodies of similar colours are reduced from £90 to £53 on the Oodie website, which is still significantly more expensive than the one from Online Home Shop.
Although we think £7 for a snuggly Oodie will be cheap to beat, it is always good to shop around the make sure you are getting the cheapest deal.
We had a look around at other retailers who have similar dupes to see how prices compared.
While we could not find one cheaper than £7 there are plenty of similar wearable blankets on the market.
Dunelm has a version that is retailing at £16 and John Lewis also has one for £38.
New Look also has its own version that is on the website at £29, and Marks and Spencer also has one for £25.
Of course, it is difficult to compare the items online for quality and prices can change all the time.
You can use price comparison sites such as Google Shopping to compare items from different retailers.
