Thrifty mum shares the £8 laundry hack that's saved her £500

A mum has revealed how she has managed to save hundreds of pounds on her washing with a simple laundry detergent swap.

Holly Smith, the founder of the largest Facebook Money Saving Group, uses an Eco Egg, reports YorkshireLive. The plastic egg filled with pellets replaces both her laundry detergent and fabric softener, and she told ITV's This Morning that since starting to use it in 2018 she has saved more than £500.

The mum-of-four shared her money-saving hack with hosts Dermot O'Leary and Alison Hammond. She hopes her tip can help others save money too as the cost of living crisis deepens and families look to make cuts where they can.
