most cost effective blanket

 Most warm for least $ ?  I assume it's Velux but maybe
there's something even warmer for the money ?  

thanks

Wool is always a good bet.  I have a wool blanket that was given to me
as a "new home" gift when I got my first no-roomies 100%-paid-by-me
apartment during college.  It has shrunken somewhat over the years,
but it's staying power, utility, and warmth convinced me to buy my own
wool blankets as I was able to afford them.  I bought washable
wool/nylon blend blankets to avoid the shrinkage issue and most of
them look as good now as the day they came home.  I do buy lightweight
ones and layer up.  Most of my guests complain they'll be chilly under
just one blanket, the next morning they marvel at how comfortable they
were during the night.

 Ditto wool.  I was dreadfully sick as a child and when the chills would
overwhelm, nothing beat the wool blanket.

the very CHEAPEST.. has got to be those space blankets. You
can get them at Wal Mart for $1.99.  I use them now to cover
windows..they are like 97% efficient or something.. they are
shiny, like aluminum foil, but very reflective and efficient..
and also tear easy.  But that's the cheapest and most efficient one.
