Consumer rights expert Scott Dixon has revealed how it is possible to make savings of more than £3,500 to help ease the cost-of-living crisis.
Mr Dixon, who runs The Complaints Resolver blog, told the Mirror that frugal choices have helped him to save £3,722 in one year without him having to make sacrifices. He estimates that he saves £85 a year by showering early each morning and by putting his washing on a timer because his 'day and night' energy tariff with Bulb means he is charged cheaper rates at unsociable hours, while other ways he keeps more money in his pocket includes only heating one room, which saves him £683.
“Keeping my bills and outgoings to a minimum and still enjoying life on my terms with no sacrifices is easy to do when you put your mind to it,” said Mr Dixon. “While we can't control the price of energy, we can control how we use it.”
