5 ways to reduce energy bills and save money
Energy Saving Week
Energy saving week is the combined venture of Citizens Advice and the Energy Saving Trust. Although Energy Saving week was established a good eight years ago, it is arguably even more relevant today. Energy bills have risen on an unprecedented scale in the UK between 2021/2022.
The focus of energy saving week looks to address the rising cost of energy to the householder whilst simultaneously drawing attention to the benefits to the planet by taking just a few simple steps to reduce output.
The good news is that very minimal effort is required to help to keep your carbon footprint down and your savings up.
Taking a 4-minute shower - Potential Saving £45 per year (on average)
Who doesn’t love a nice long soak, to be fair? But keep in mind that your shower time could be eating into your bank account. The Energy Saving Trust recommend an average of 4 minutes in the shower, which not only helps your bills but keeps water waste to a minimum. If you are partial to a bath, swapping one bath a week to a shower could save you around £7 on your bill. Whilst we are talking about bathroom routines, remember to turn off the tap whilst you are using your Truthpaste!
Turning off Standby - Potential savings £40 per year (on average)
Leaving your TV, computer, laptop on standby could be racking up your energy cost more than you realise. By switching off devices at the wall you can save yourself around £40 a year.
Draught-proofing - Potential savings £30 per year (on average)
Depending on your home, this may or may not be as straight forwards as it sounds. Newer homes are, generally speaking, easier to insulate than older ones. Using heavy curtains, draft excluders and good rugs are just some of the ways that you can keep the heat in during the colder months.
Reduce clothes washes by 1 per week and wash at 30°. - Potential savings £20 per year (on average)
Again, this is tricky depending on your home circumstances. For some households, a 30° wash is simply not going to cut it all the time. Similarly, circumstances such as work, hobbies, er of family members will affect how often you need to wash your clothes. This is an example of looking at habits rather than necessities. There is a tendency towards convenience in modern living, and the advice here is perhaps to encourage households to think about making small changes which, when looked at on a larger scale will have a great deal of impact.
Kitchen matters - Potential saving £22 a year (on average)
Keep an eye on your kettle! Believe it or not, this innocuous little kitchen staple is probably costing you more than your oven, stove or microwave. Always make sure to fill your kettle correctly. Overfilling uses up more energy. Always unplug your kitchen appliances when you aren’t using them!

from 1471 reviewsSo it's been just over a year using truthpaste....I well not use anything else. My gums are better from using no fluoride mouthwash. Teeth feel much cleaner, not sensitive as did with a leading brand.

I’ve been using truthpaste for just over a week now and it has made such a difference. Previously I had problems with my gums bleeding and a sore tongue. It’s all settled down, even in this short period of time I can see and feel a real difference.I think my teeth look whiter too.

I've only been using this product for a week and already I can feel a huge difference in the cleanliness of my mouth. The flavour is wonderful and I am genuinely excited to brush my teeth!

Nice a refreshing. Good quality and worth subscribing monthly for this as an alternative to fluoride toothpaste.

It makes my mouth feel fresh and feels like it is doing something positive. I have various issues with my mouth and hadn't seen a dentist for a while but when I did, and had a deep clean, my gums were excellent. Hardly any bleeding when before it would have been a horror story. I credit this to the toothpaste.
I love the mouthwash too, although it's a strong taste.

Amazing, pleasant to use not like the usual ones

I have used truthpaste for a year now and all my sesitivity has gone , my gums are healthy no cavities and teeth still clean and white , with no nasties ,
will never go back to big corp poisons

I’ve been using truthpaste fennel flavour for ages since making an impulse buy at a farmers market…I used to have painfully sensitive teeth, but no more, this stuff works for me …no going back, I love it!

I’m chuffed to bits I found Truthpaste! My teeth were not in finest form and just a few weeks later they are almost pain free. I am waiting to see the dentist about a fissure in my molar and the pain is gone! I couldn’t even eat on the left side. What a relief🦷🤍I’ll be ordering my top up very soon. The only thing I need to get used to is the taste. It is good don’t get me wrong but it is quite tasteless after using sensitive toothpaste my whole life, just need to get used to a more natural flavour. Thank you so much 😁

The best tasting best clean feeling toothpaste ever.
A fantastic product.
I will never use any other brand

I have been using this toothpaste for just over a year now and will never go back! My dentist even asked what I was doing as my oral hygiene was brilliant! My gums are far less sensitive and my mouth biome is restored. Thank you.

A milder flavour than the original. My gums have stopped bleeding and are growing back. Great product.

I've had allergies to toothpaste and struggled with bleeding and receeding gums since pregnancy 20 years ago. My gums are no longer bleeding, they are growing back. Mouth feels clean. Not the nicest taste, but a small price to pay for a healthier mouth.
