Household Money Saving Tips

[ally406]

TV is full of shite and is 30% adverts, I don't own one, and don't pay for a TV license. Use online services to watch content, it's all there in HD without adverts and doesn't even require a TV license provided you aren't watching live TV.

If you have cable internet ditch the phone line a go VoIP, mine has no line rental and hugely lower rates than VM. I'm saving around £12 a month and the service is indistinguishable from an analogue line.

Switch off the heating in rooms you don't use and close the door.

If you have a tumble dryer change it out for a condensing one, by itself it can heat the whole house so you dry your clothes and switch the heating off. A normal dryer is pumping ~3kw of heat straight out the window.

I bulk buy items like toilet paper, tissues, tooth paste, washing liquid etc at Costco, particularly when they mail out a coupon book. Working out around 1/4 of the price and more time efficient (how much time do you spend shopping for bog roll?).

....and of course run an XUD on veg, £200 a month saving, half the mortgage practically
