Lidl is selling a simple £8 gadget that can slash energy bills by £100s

THOSE concerned about their bills this winter can pick up a simple £7.99 gadget that could slash energy costs by hundreds of pounds.

With Brits facing high energy prices and millions of pensioners missing out on the winter fuel payment, many are looking for help with managing costs this year.

Lidl may have the answer thanks to a plug-in power meter that measures how much energy your appliances are really using.
