trappa 518 Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Not so much living off the land, but money saving. Me and 'er indoors drink tea and coffe like its going out of fashion. Our kettle is on at least 30 times a day. Our leccy bills were sky high and the majority was down to the kettle, so , because the price of electric has doubled roughly in a year( gas nowhere near as much), we bought a whistling kettle for the gas hob- MASSIVE savings, really. If you drink a lot of tea, seriously consider one of these , they are a tenner at argos and the money we have saved has been incredible! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Malt 379 Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Might be worth looking into, as we drink a lot of tea! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

socks 32,253 Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 if you drink that much tea and coffee then what you need is a burco boiler with a temperature gauge so that when the water has boiled it keeps it at that temperature ... it will save you a fortune ............

TOMO 26,199 Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 cut down on you tea and coffe, but your right kettle does use alot of lecky. you could use your microwave. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlueCoyote 0 Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 (edited) cut down on you tea and coffe, but your right kettle does use alot of lecky. you could use your microwave. tea is a diuretic.. whats that? goes right through you and makes ya pee a lot.. which is wasteful in itself, right? just drink water lol but i do have a whistling kettle. sounds like a train whistle. can even hear it outside lol i've never paid attention to the electric bill, but i suppose so. saves you from forgetting and boiling the water all gone.....
