  • Hi Jackie, could I have a copy of the misers coobook too please? I am trying to maximise my frugal lving this year to live on less and save more. The biggest areas I am hoping to save on are

    Food, household cleaning stuff etc
    Gas/Electic Bills.
    Christmas - going to do a handmade one this year.
    Cars - these are now our biggest annual expense. My petrol comsumption has gone down alot now that I work mainly from home but OH still uses alot - about £160 - £200 per month. I have thought about getting rid of my car but I do need it to get to parts of my job

    Could I have a copy of the cook book as well please :)

    This thread is useful but making me feel guilty as heck we spend around £20 a week on our leccy meter and there are only 2 of us! We have no boiler though so our hot water comes from the immersion heater which is pricey to run.
    We are in debt with the gas, I have queried the massive bills we keep getting as we only have a gas fire and a gas hob! Any ideas how I can get the gas usage way down even in winter? (gas fire and electric heaters are our only source of warmth as no central heating)
