The cost of living crisis is continuing to make it harder for everyone to cope with energy bills, groceries, and every day spending. I, like many people, am looking of ways to keep track on where my money goes and where I can afford to make changes to my spending habits, but some of our spending is hard to monitor, especially when you've got to factor in energy usage for lots of household appliances.
While it's hard to know just how much energy your hairdryer, fridge or toaster uses, it's not impossible. This handy device from Amazon claims to tell us just that and its currently reduced in the Black Friday sale.
The full name of the device is rather wordy: Power Meter Plug Energy Monitor Watt Meter Backlight LCD Display Electricity Usage Monitor Consumption Analyzer Voltage Amps Wattage KWH Outlet Power Meter Socket, Updated Version 180° Viewing Angle. If that's already got you a bit boggled, then the device might do the same. The device comes in a small cardboard box with a small reset stick and an A5 set of basic instructions.
