Tips for Useless Savers

May 25th, 2010 posted by admin

I was always really good at saving money, but all that changed one day when I discovered that wondrous thing called “chocolate”. Suddenly, saving money was extremely difficult, and adding to my problem was the fact that when I was a child “Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory” was an absurdly popular film. Those were tough times!

I talk about chocolate in relation to this article (which is about the following blog post) because I was eating a bar of it when I came across it. The article contains numerous handy tips on energy saving and is definitely worth a read. I still haven’t grown out of my chocolate addiction so I think I may have to read the list again–

And these are good tips that everyone can employ to actually save money. It’s not just a load of made up old nonsense. No, there are tips on how to save money by turning things off when you don’t need to use them (this may sound obvious, but that is indeed how we waste so much energy as a society) and tips on how to replace light-bulbs (with no jokes in sight). And to back these tips up there are figures, too. And if saving as much as 50 quid a year by doing a simple task isn’t enough then Enigineven go on to talk about adjusting your thermostat and how that can be mutually beneficial for both you and the environment.

Which begs the question: why aren’t you over at the site yet?
