Saving money on electric
Watching a program last night and it was saying about the cost of cooking using electric.
To reduce cost...... use a slow cooker. May not be able to cook everything via a slow cooker but as the advert goes " Every Little Helps". May be we should have a section, money saving tips..... only joking. empty your car of junk, pump the tyres up. Replace that full size spare with a space saver if you are doing local journeys.

Of course, the most important is not to accelerate or drive too fast. A steady 55 is about 10%-15% more economical than a steady 70MPH on an A road journey. Then there is walking instead of driving for very short trips to the local shop etc.

Saving money on electric:
Recently changed a perfectly good gas cooker about 10 years old for an electric one. Brilliant. Side issue? No naked flames in the kitchen anymore. Even more brilliant. No nutritional difference observed. Adjusted central heating and water timing planner to only provide a tank of hot water when it is actually needed, ie early morning (7.00 am) for an hour and an hour in the evening. Turned the gas boiler (in the garage) down to about one third of its range. Expect the combined difference to be marginal but adequate. Don't even have to wear a cardy.
