Mum uses wartime cooking method to tackle rising costs and save cash

A campaigner has told how rising costs have seen her turn to a wartime cooking method to save money. Jennifer Jones, who is disabled, says she has been feeling the effect of rising prices before this month's energy spike.

The Sheffield mother-of-two is behind the Big Power Switch off which saw households urged to turn off their power for 10 minutes on Sunday night. She is calling on people to do the same again on Saturday April 16 at 7pm.
