Electric Blanket

Summer is not even over - but the weather seems to be turning cold already *sigh*. Winter is long here in Canada and sometimes it can get real cold - we have electric heat all over the house - and during winter the power bill can KILL! i kid you not when i tell you that. The first year in our new home - we had to put french door to close up our tv room and from the kitchen because if we didn’t do that - in order to heat up the tv room - we needed to heat up the kitchen too.
So every year I think of ways to save on our power bill - and I’ve been thinking of an electric blanket for many years now. The spouse’s parents are using it - and have been for a long, long time - but I am worried about getting fried under the blankie. What is your take on it? i saw a sale on for only $59.95 for the above blankie and want to try it. It is said to have auto savings - and any savings is good - afterall, we don’t need to have the whole room all heated up - plus - it gets really hot in the morning. It turns off after 10 hrs - so no one sleeps more than that eh. So this winter - i’m going to try it - if anyone has any suggestion about the electic blanket - drop me a comment eh. I’m a newbie!
