My energy saving tip is when you're making mashed potatoes slice potatoes up as thinly as possible this saves a lot of cooking time, also if you're planning to have boiled eggs that day or the next Pop then in with the potatoes x
I used to do exactly that with the boiled spuds and an egg. One of my favourite lunches is a potato salad with an egg! Haven’t had it for a while, think that is going to be lunch for today. Thanks for the tip! :)
Good tips! This is slightly unusual. My mom and 2 friends had a beautiful birthday card they used (and reused) between the 3 of them for 15 yrs. The birthday girl kept the card until the next birthday. The gifts were always flowers (May, June, September) from their gardens (the 3 each had gardens).
Flowers from your own garden are more special I have a tiny crystal vase bought from hospice shop for a pound and it looks exquisite with a few sprigs of lavender and some oregano. No need for shop bought blooms.
I heat enough water to fill the flask/thermos. Since I have to pay for the electricity anyway, I maximize it😊 Plenty of water for tea all day long! I use bar soap, too. But I love the convenience of the dispenser, especially in the kitchen. So I add the little slivers of soap, throw them into a pretty pump bottle, and add warm water. A few shakes to melt the soap and we have liquid soap 👌 Thank you for sharing your tips. There are a few new ones I can apply 😁I always recycle gift bags. And if I get a particularly gorgeous card, I will use it as a postcard by just cutting off the side with the greeting on it and writing something on the back of the part I'm mailing.
Your tips were helpful and slightly different from those of others on RUclips which I highly appreciate. Keep making more such content and best wishes.
Just started recently to keep boxes, paper and packaging that comes into the house. I used bubble wrap and grey paper this morning to make an envelope for a package I had to post. I needed some boxes for organising a wardrobe and used the boxes that came in, instead of buying the plastic ones I had in mind. Really beginning to think about what I am putting into the recycling bin that perhaps I can use. You are so right about the gift wrapping and generic brands. Tks for sharing.
Brilliant tips, thank you. I work from home and boil the kettle at least 5 times a day and it's never crossed my mind to use a flask. From now on I will make a flask of coffee each day. Not only will this save on heating the kettle each time but also my time going out to the kitchen. Fantastic tip thank you!
For the 2 of us we boil the kettle and put one tea bag in the flask and the fill with hot water then pour our tea then top up with the rest of the water in the kettle for a second cup later. Also will boil the kettle to fill with water so we can have an instant coffee during the day. Great tips
I usually drink hot tea more often than coffee these days. Drink it out of a tall insulated tumbler & just refill my mug as needed. Keeps it hot all day!!!
Hi Mum! It is fun to be frugal! I have my areas that I am frugal, and my areas that I am not! Being extra clean in certain areas of life, and a perfectionist I struggle and can't be fully frugal. I am conscious of it and try! I do use cheap bar soap! We use a lot, also it tends to be better in keeping the drain clear. Only for my body I will use a beauty bar.(Dove, Ivory etc) I have used tea bags twice, its not really a great cup of tea though! I use Lipton, Twinnings,Tetley, King Cole, I thought they were good brands. I do know it is a definite way to save! I save my clothes by washing inside out and hanging up! Saves the color and less wear on fabric! Thanks for sharing!!☕☕🫖
I have been frugal for a very long time and after a while it just becomes natural. I have just discovered that the teabags I use are being discontinued in my local supermarket and they are selling off the stock at a bargain price, needless to say I have stocked up! Thanks for watching:)
Rice and pasta: a leading bowel specialist who was treating my sister told us about a study he had headed up comparing the effects on health of wholegrain rice, pasta, cereals and bread to those of the cheaper, white versions. The conclusion was that the wholegrain versions put too much strain on the gut and were one of the leading causes of the rise in IBS and other bowel problems. He told us that the relevant health departments, authorities, governments, whatever had been advised but were unable to push for change as the hugely powerful cereal lobby had invested so heavily in convincing people to eat their 'healthier' (more expensive and therefore profitable) wholegrain products and were not prepared to change tack. He said it was like smoking: as long as the tax income was greater than the cost to the NHS (in the UK) and work days lost, there would be no change; once those costs outweighed the tax income we would see a change, as we did with smoking. So don't eat wholegrain and don't feel guilty. Clara :)))
I also read that people who have been eating rice for thousands of years always had it dehusked ie white probably because they worked out that it was harmful.
Lots of people are surprised that you can get more than one cup out of a teabag. It makes me wonder how many other items can I squeeze an extra bit from! Thanks for watching:)
I live alone so I bought myself a travel kettle which is half the size and allows me to just put a cup full of water in. If I boil the big kettle I fill it and make my coffee in the flask. This allows me to use less coffee .
Love a flask, I’m not a coffee drinker but enjoy a cup of tea. I fill my flask with the water as I find if I put tea in the flask it never tastes as good. Does coffee taint your flask at all?
Hi, if you fill your mug or cup with the water from your tap, then pour that into your kettle, you're then only boiling the required amount. That way you wouldn't need to put the excess into your flask. Great tips anyway I enjoy your vids.
Hi Dean, my kettle has a minimum fill line, I believe it’s to protect the element so I always have a small amount of water left over. Thank you for taking the time to comment, always appreciated :)
Hi, it probably would damage the element if you are using an old type kettle, particularly the old spiral type. The modern kettles have like a hot plate base so the element is not exposed. A cup or mug full of water is ample amount......
You can’t just boil the required amount. To do this you need to use a saucepan. An electric kettle has to be filled to a minimum level, to cover the element. She did say this.
I'm retired now and have had to tighten our belts and budget even more now our income is reduced. I've always been good at saving money even since I was a child. Regarding the packaging, I sometimes reuse it as packaging but some of the pretty gift bags I cut up and make handmade cards with them, friends are quite surprised to learn this. Also I notice young families always make tea with a teabag in a cup for each person. I've always used a teapot as it gets more from the teabags, in fact I have two teapots, a large one for a crowd, and a smaller one for 4 people. I always felt this a better use of teabags. Unless of course you use 1-cup teabags, which I believe are a bit more expensive anyway. Good tips from you though, tfs.
What a lovely idea to use the packaging for gift cards. As for the tea bags, I use the same one over and over if it’s just me and like you I do use a pot for larger numbers- that way I can sneak ‘out’ a teabag or two!😆 thanks for watching:)
Am terrible for dumping out the water in the kettle to boil fresh water each time but I do try to only put in a little amount of water at a time and not fill up the kettle. I also reuse my tea bags but I must say I can taste the difference in brand of rice so I am specific to the brand I get. I usually get a large 16kg bag of the brand of rice I like once a year and have a large tube I transfer it to in my pantry. For pasta any brand would do, am not picky and I also do buy in bulk whenever it’s on sale, I pick up many bags at a time. These days with the prices of things going up. You really do have to watch the Pennies and I switch back and forth between bar soap and liquid soap. I love bar soaps and get them a lot as presents. And you are right bar soap last longer, I am still using a pack I got from Christmas that smells like apple and cinnamon.
😅😅yes I do the same with the gift bags etc. I like to receive recycled gift bags, as the giver is doing their bit for the environment, plus if it helps them save a bit of money 👍 up too.
All chemicals have a dilution ratio, find this out by getting the data sheet from the company. Measure how much water your mop bucket holds, work out how much cleaning stuff needs to go into that amount of water. Write this on a piece of paper, stick it to the side of the mop bucket and cover with sellotape to stop the paper getting wet. Over the year this will save you money, every little helps.
Good video more people do it save a lot going unecessarilly to landfill I always recycle gift paper so many uses for upcycling cards cardboard etc. Cards are a waste of money. The squirt soap just seemed to become the norm but i notice people do like a bar of soap I like the Neals yard soaps but also love pears soap. Good tips. I buy brown rice from Lidl it's quite cheap but it is tastier I find just buy cheap pasta that's great prices. Fun to be frugal where you can. Reduce reuse recycle :)
Hi i keep my cards and last year i was going through old xmas cards i found some lovely snow schenes also some reigndeer pics and i cut up a gift bag too framed them all now have xmas pics for years to come . I do the same with our tea too never did the flask thing never thought of that great video x
That’s a lovely idea, I love it when we get the Christmas cards out and discover some very old ones and it causes us to remember the person that sent it. Thanks for watching:)
I may sound like a Scrooge, but gift bags and present wrappers make me depressed for Christmas. They are so expensive and just horribly wasteful. For large family gift exchange, it's literally throwing huge amount of money onto a landfill. I also save and recycle them, but inevitably after every gift exchange there are two large trash bags filled with torn paper. We really need to rethink what we're doing here; the whole concept is bad.
I agree it is pretty wasteful, always a good idea to save and recycle them when you receive a gift. I also save any brown paper packaging too. Thanks for watching:)
I've started buying cloth bags made with Christmas patterns/colors from the thrift store and then reusing them every year. I've also bought a few photo boxes on sale and used (and reused) those for smaller items. I also save the paper, but you can only reuse it a few times!
I boil a full kettle then when it cools I put it into a recycled bottle marked boiled. Great for pets, cooking, and just to have on hand if the water goes out or it smells funky from them working on the line somewhere
Hi it's just the hubby and I we only buy the smaller bags of rice, the larger bags of rice is to much and it sits in the container for ever it seems like. The pasta is a staple in my house, we do but a few pasta bags. The pasta makes so many good dishes. I also use left over pasta when I make my veggie burgers to help bind the veggie mixture ( at this point every thing is in the food processor ), it use left over pasta to bind the veggie mixture is awesome and it provides no waste for food.
I like to refill the pump soap with cheap bath soap u see that’s 700-1litres as can get two 500ml pump soap for 70c supermarket own brand but now prices creeping up it’s €1 some Places ! I buy her soaps now :) I do have big pump soap in work as it’s only one we are allowed to use so I buy aldi soap at 58c and lasts me 2 months or more in work haha it’s not easy carry bar soap but j love bar soap at home now :) bar soap has come a long way ! I love rice in bulk ! I’m gluten free so it have carbs it’s rice ! Great tip about the hot water in the kettle then add remaining to a flask ! Didn’t think of this !
We do a lot of those!!! I use bar soap for my shower & my bathroom soap. Main bathroom has an auto drip (very small amount) when hand is placed under it & a bar of soap for who ever would like to use it instead. Kitchen has a pump soap but when I tried to buy out bath & body works a few years ago (only slightly kidding) with a few gift cards, I’m still using up all of that soap up. It’s been YEARS since I’ve needed to buy soap. It’s seriously crazy. Bought a TON of liter bottles of shampoo & conditioner when a well known beauty store shut down. It’s been at least 4 years ago. Still going strong. Haven’t needed to buy any of that since either. It’s crazy how long things last especially when you are frugally using it up & not wasting it all.
Bar soap has now doubled in price, it’s currently 30 pence -mind you that’s still pretty cheap. You’re right it’s amazing how long things last-I think being frugal helps though!😀 Thanks for watching:)
My energy saving tip is when you're making mashed potatoes slice potatoes up as thinly as possible this saves a lot of cooking time, also if you're planning to have boiled eggs that day or the next Pop then in with the potatoes x

The kettle needs the minimum fill line to create enough steam pressure to trigger the shutoff mechanism. Otherwise it will burn dry.
I thought it was something about burning dry but didn’t know the bit about the steam pressure, thank you so much for sharing. :)

That certainly takes away some of the guilt over feeding my family cheap white pasta and rice! Thanks for sharing that 🙂
I also read that people who have been eating rice for thousands of years always had it dehusked ie white probably because they worked out that it was harmful.
The husk of any grains contain highest amount of toxic compound. Plus the fibre is bad for our guts they are the main cause of IBD.
I was actually really surprised about the tea! I’m definitely gonna try that next time I have one! ☕️

Yorkshire tea makes two cups with just one bag as it is strong
Why not just make a full flask of tea, rather than faffing about with all the cups involved in thrice reusing the teabag?
I’ve never liked the taste of tea made in a flask and it tends to taint the flask afterwards. Thanks for commenting:)
just make three cups of tea and put that in the flaske
I prefer to just put water in the flask as tea tends to taint it, thanks for the comment and watching:)
