A woman has halved her energy bill by using a series of thrifty solutions - including charging her phone on a solar panel and cooking on a camper stove. Kerry Collinson, 51, decided to ruthlessly cut back on her gas and electric bill as she saw prices soar.
She decided she 'didn't want to put my hard earned money into the pockets of greedy people at the energy companies'. Since switching up her habits, Kerry has slashed two-thirds off of her gas bill, and halved her electricity bill - meaning she now only pays £10 a month after the £60 government grant.
The commercial cleaner from Crewkerne in Somerset has not turned on her central heating since February, and says she only spends £1.20 a week cooking, after swapping out her induction hob for a camping stove. Despite the cut backs, Kerry says her 'quality of life is just as good', but she's 'saving a fortune'.
