    Lol at 1:50. The girl who boils her kettle just once a day has bought an iPhone 13 Pro 🙄. I bet she can't even tell the difference between that and the 12 Pro or the 13 (excluding the third camera).

    How about a properly managed country instead of being run by thief’s, I mean sure if Someone steals my bike I can use a “hack” and walk, but how about nobody steals my bike in the first place!! our attention should be focused on the cause and not the effect, no wonder people are going mad it’s akin to gaslighting!

    I don't really see the point in avoiding boiling a kettle. Doesn't it cost about 1-2p to boil the minimum amount (500mls)? Also, you're already having to pay the standing charge for your electricity, so for a few extra pennies, why not make the most of it and have the luxury of a few cups of tea?

    I am doing this whole my life, but it doesn’t help, because I have almost $3500 mortgage payment without including water, electrical and other bills, and don’t forget insurance for car and tax for home, $1000-1200 for food every month, $1000 every month medical insurance for family of four, it’s insane.

    You can save even more money by shopping in Lidl. Everything in there is cheap.
    Also buying a bike from Argos will save you money rather than renting the santander bikes.

    Watching the video and reading the comments I am shocked. To me it seems extreme that people are drinking less tea to save on the water bill, or buying a smaller shower head. Or even buying nearly-expired groceries. I am living in a country where I choose the best for myself and my family, and things are not that expensive to go to these lengths. Just to paint a full picture a my salary is far below average in the country and in the city I live in. And, I am not living in Europe / the UK.
    I think it is very sad that the governments do not control things enough for the people to have the best.

    These tips are decent and I do some of these. It really just depends on what I'm doing that week. I personally work from home and use the bus to get to work when I need to get to the office. I think also making use of your freezer if you have one and bulk buying if you have the storage and money to do so (Going halves with someone could be an option). I'm also not based in London so some of these tips like bikes and off peak travel aren't particularly relevant or accessible to me.
