This rise in bills is going to happen so we may as well prepare. It would be nice to share ideas on reducing food & energy bills. My 3 tips [but add as many as you like!}
1. shop for simpler meals - traditional favourites. This batch cooking from Lidl 7 [from the Joe Swatch TV programme] has good recipes.
2. I use 4mm flat polycarbonate panels attached with heavy duty velcro on my windows. They can be removed for cleaning but I leave them on all year as they also cut out the heat in summer
3. heavy weight curtains lined with blackout thermal lining [buy lining that has both functions in one] AND draught excluder tape for exterior doors and windows helps block draughts.
