Money saving ideas.

Ive just been scrolling through the ‘Discussions’ and reading how some are switching to CLs and not travelling so far in an attempt to save money. With the hike in gas and electric prices this will need to be thought about at home as well, especially as winter approaches. We have been away for 3 weeks but even with no one here our electricity usage has, surprisingly, been creeping up. This will focus me to emptying the chest freezer and defrosting it, as that may be the biggest culprit. I’m also scouring recipe books in an attempt to become more proficient at making many more meals in the slow cooker, double batches then freezing some, in an attempt not to keep putting the oven on. The washing machine never goes on now unless it is really full. And, living in the South West, where water prices are astronomical, it’s always showers over baths. Anyone else got any tips, that might be useful.
