Let's share tips for saving the pennies!

We're all worried about this coming winter, about staying warm and healthy etc but this year is very different!


I heard on the news this morning that those on a basic pension will soon be spending more than 50% of their income just on gas/electricity.


Whilst we all hope the government comes up with some kind of support for those who need it, it seems a good time to share any tips you might have on how to save, how to keep warm, and how to cope!

Thanks for voting!
I shall try not to use my electric oven so much and use the microwave/slow cooker instead.

I agree Olivep, I think slow cookers will be making a big comeback this winter!
