A beautiful home can be spoiled by stubborn weeds, and it's hardly a straightforward job to get rid of them.
Whether they are popping up through the driveway or on the edges of your garden, they prove to be one of the most consistently hated summer chores.
They can also be costly to get rid of, especially if they are constantly growing back, say the MEN.
Thankfully one mum has found a way to get rid of weeds that requires less physical labour and products that put her back just £1.18.
There is a good chance you will already have most of the ingredients in your home too, as most of them are common household products.
Sharing it on a money-saving Facebook group, she said she came across the instructions for making your own at home using just a litre of white vinegar, three large spoons of salt, three large spoons of washing-up liquid and a spray bottle.
All she had to buy was two 59p bottles of vinegar from Home Bargains and that was all she needed as her mum had the rest of the ingredients.
The woman explained: "My mum was talking about the weeds growing up between the slabs on her driveway and path,"
She continued. "Couldn't sleep the other night so started googling away.
"Came across this website detailing how to make your own weed killer at home. Bought the vinegar from Home Bargains (59p for 500ml) and she already had the rest of the ingredients needed.
"£1.18 was all it cost, and after using it on Sunday she said it's the best weed killer ever! Hope this helps someone out."
And the good news for anyone wanting to give it a go, is that you can get white vinegar for an even cheaper price.
Aldi sells 568ml bottles for just 32p, while Tesco is even cheaper at 29p. You're welcome.
