One Martin Lewis fan has explained how they helped their parents make a massive £900 saving annually on household bills, by simply following the financial buff's advice. Their story was shared during this week's MoneySavingExpert.com newsletter - with the reader writing into the consumer website to explain their big win.
The reader, known only as username Tinkerbaby, explained they had been asking their parents to get a water meter 'for a long time', before they finally saw sense and agreed to have one installed in their family home. Tinkerbaby says that the couple currently pay £1,400 for the particular utility bill, but the switch will likely see them save £900 annually.
