You are what you eat, eating ultra processed rubbish, unfortunately it's not great for you.
I bake bread, not to save monies, but not to eat plastic stuff.
Cooking from scratch, in a lot of instances, costs more. E.g fish fingers and chips & beans vs baked cod loin and mid potatoes with salad."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/51348580","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"RealOldMonk"},"datePublished":"2023-11-03T21:53:42.000Z","text":"Buying low quality cheap cloths"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/51348839","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"aLV426"},"datePublished":"2023-11-03T22:42:46.000Z","text":"My favourite - using smart plugs to turn off devices. You need to factor in the power consumption of the smart plug - taking into consideration that it needs to powered 24/7 along with the associated network appliances. Sometimes it works out cheaper to let the device go to standby or the less convenient powering it off option!"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/51348661","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"TristanDeCoonha"},"datePublished":"2023-11-03T22:08:29.000Z","text":"Use the Vimes guide to buying boots"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/51350043","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Timbonagasaki"},"datePublished":"2023-11-04T07:57:46.000Z","text":"Cheap cheese- It's tasteless, so you have to use more."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/51351014","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"slimy31"},"datePublished":"2023-11-04T10:16:16.000Z","text":"My favourite has to be hunting round petrol stations for the cheapest stuff. On a 50 litre tank, a penny cheaper is just 50p, and you'd probably use that much fuel getting to the cheaper petrol station.
Changing your driving habits gives a much better saving on fuel."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/51348323","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"wayners"},"datePublished":"2023-11-03T21:15:17.000Z","text":"Washing up in cold water
