Last year most of us went on a saving campaign when the price of gas and electricity shot through the roof. We batch cook, use the slow cooker and microwave more often, wash full loads, turn the heating down, put up thicker curtains, put foil behind the radiators, only boil the water we need, keep doors closed etc.
What ideas do you have for more penny pinching this year?
I've discovered that if you bring pasta to a rolling boil and put a lid on the pan, you can switch it off. Fifteen minutes later the pasta will have cooked.
How much do you spend on yourself?
