Saving money doesn't have to cost the earth.
How can you remove even the toughest stains? How can you make the best use of your microwave and keep meals healthy and tasty? How can you remove mould safely? Sunday Times bestselling author Great British Bake Off winner Nancy Birtwhistle is here to answer all of these questions and more, featuring 101 thoughtful, cheap and time-saving tips and tricks on how to run a budget home – all while protecting the environment.
Born in post-war Hull in the 1950s, and formerly a single working mum to two kids, Nancy is no stranger to frugality. Building on her astonishing 12p laundry detergent and wildly popular recipe, ‘Pure Magic’, The Green Budget Guide includes more of the inspired, sustainable and budget friendly hacks that have made Nancy so loved by readers and followers on social media, as well as tips and tricks from a lifetime spent learning how to run a household efficiently by saving time and money.
Why did no one tell me you can make golden syrup at home?! This book is already worth it.
This is my first run in with Nancy, but I like her chatty style and simple instructions. Having anecdotes from her life is helpful as well, as it shows how her cleaners work in 'real' life. I skimmed some of the recipes but will definitely come back to them next time I need one, and it seems like everything is covered here!
Increasingly we all need to be using this kind of knowledge, and it's great to have it so handily compiled and ready for us here. This is a great start to get everyone going greener.
The Green Budget Guide publishes on the 23rd of January, 2024. I received a free copy and am giving an honest review.
