12 Affordable Sweaters that are Oh So Cozy

Oct 10 | Canada Deals, Frugal Living

affordable sweaters

As the chilly weather sets in, there’s nothing better than wrapping yourself in a cozy sweater—especially one that doesn’t empty your wallet.

Whether you’re after a classic cable-knit, a trendy oversized fit, or something soft and snug for lounging, affordable sweaters are a must-have for your fall and winter wardrobe.

To help you stay warm without overspending, I’ve rounded up a list of the best affordable sweaters that combine comfort, style, and coziness. Read on to find your next favorite sweater that won’t break the bank!

12 Affordable Sweaters You Will Love

Note: I have listed the sweaters at their regular price. But this price may change at any time with sales.

I love this sweater! I bought two and they’re so cozy. They are often on sale too! The colour and sizing options are fantastic.

Turtleneck Tunic Sweater from Amazon – $33.99

This sweater is a more lightweight option if you tend to run hotter. Or need something for early fall or early spring. 8 colour options.

Oversized Striped Sweater from Amazon – $45.99

Here’s a trendy oversized option that is sure to get you compliments! It currently has a coupon for 15% off that you can apply.

Loose Turtleneck Sweater from Amazon – $46.99

This sweater has a loose turtleneck that’s perfect for adding some interest, yet isn’t tight around the neck. Long enough to wear with leggings. Currently has a coupon for 15% off to apply.

Mock-Neck Crop Sweater from Old Navy – $54.99

I love the pattern of the knit of this sweater! I think it would look nice paired with a wide leg pant and some Chelsea boots. Check for a sale!

SoSoft Crop Sweater from Old Navy – $49.99

This one says it’s cropped, but it looks like it might not be really cropped and hit at a nice point. Available in 7 colours and sizing XS – 4XL.

Oversized Hoodies from Amazon – $29.99

Sometimes, it’s a hoodie you need instead of a sweater. This oversized hoodie looks like the ultimate in coziness.

Checkered Cardigan Sweater from Amazon – $49.99

This is a trendy cute cardigan! Perfect for layering and wrapping up in!

Honeycomb Knit Sweater from Amazon – $52.99

I love the honeycomb knit sleeves of this sweater! I think it makes it look like you can dress this sweater up.

unREAL Cable Crew Sweater from Aerie – $69.95

A beautiful classic cable knit sweater! This is a longer sweater that I think could be worn with leggings. 9 colour options. Aerie often has sales.

Beyond Chenille V-Neck Sweater from Aerie – $74.95

I can almost feel how soft this chenille sweater is through the screen! There are 7 colours to choose from. Currently on sale!

Striped Turtleneck Tunic Sweater from Amazon – $42.99

Stripes are so classic! I love this one that can be worn with leggings or slimmer jeans. There’s a $10 coupon to apply currently.

With so many affordable and cozy sweaters to choose from, staying warm and stylish this season has never been easier. So, go ahead and update your wardrobe without the guilt because comfort and warmth shouldn’t come with a hefty price tag!

Affordable Flannel Sheets for Winter

Oct 6 | Frugal Living, Canada Deals, Household Tips

The best affordable flannel sheets in Canada

The best affordable flannel sheets in Canada

With cold weather nearly upon us, it’s time to start thinking about how you are going to stay cozy and warm in your home. One way to combat the chill is to invest in a set of flannel sheets for all the beds in your home. Flannel sheets are made out of cotton but are heavier, warmer, and softer than your normal cotton bedding.

In this post today, I have rounded up the some of the best affordable flannel sheets to keep you sleeping peacefully until warmer weather arrives again. Because this is Simply Frugal, this list contains affordable, budget-friendly options that will keep your wallet happy too!

One fun thing about flannel is that there are a ton of fun patterns to choose from. Plaids, Christmas themes, winter themes, kid patterns, geometric designs and so many more. Here’s a list of some really fun patterns I found on a budget:

  1. Vanessa Blue flannel sheets – From Bed, Bath & Beyond
  2. Black Pine Trees flannel sheets – From Bed, Bath & Beyond
  3. Red/black Buffalo Plaid flannel sheets – From Bed, Bath & Beyond

4. Snowflakes Flannel Sheet Set – From Amazon.ca
5. Eddie Bauer Montlake Plaid Flannel Sheet Set – From Amazon.ca
6. Stirling Plaid Flannel Sheet Set – From Amazon.ca

7. Wildlife Flannel Sheet Set – From Walmart
8. Dog Flannel Sheet Set – From Walmart
9. Black Swiss Cross Flannel Sheet Set – From Walmart

10. Christmas Tree Trucks Flannel Sheet Set – From Walmart
11. Plaid Flannel Sheet Set – From Walmart
12. Dark Blue Plaid Flannel Sheet Set – From Walmart

13. Sakura Flannel Sheet Set – From Linen Chest
14. Holiday Plaid Flannel Sheet Set – From Linen Chest
15. Colourful Trees Flannel Sheet Set – From Wayfair

Costco also has some great affordable flannel sheet sets, but I am unable to link to them as they are a seasonal item in-store only. Homesense is also worth a look for budget friendly sheets.

Because there are great solid colour flannel sheets too, I’ve rounded up my favourites below. Solid colours are great to dress up a patterned duvet or to simply add a pop of colour or coziness to any bed.

  1. Laurel Wreath solid Flannel Sheet Set – From Walmart
  2. Bare Home Solid Flannel Sheet Set – From Amazon
  3. Grey Solid Flannel Sheet Set – From Amazon

4. Light Pink Flannel Sheet Set – From Amazon.ca
5. Navy Flannel Bed Sheet Set – From Amazon.ca
6. Heathered Grey Flannel Sheet Set – From Amazon.ca

I hope you enjoyed this selection of cozy affordable flannel sheets! There are so many different designs and price ranges from the sources I found. I’m sure you’ll find something that suits you well!
