This is the ultimate penny (and pound!) saving Green Guide by journalist and science writer Mary Mulvihill. Available at http://www.leafliving.com for £7.99, one tip contained in this book alone could save you £500 a year... you'll recoup the price of the book in no time!
Drive like a Woman, Shop like a Man is packed with 101 easy, practical tips for economical living that can be done immediately - without the need for costly equipment or installation – and the no-nonsense explanations will hopefully convince any sceptic.
Several of the tips were inspired by information Mary picked up while working as a journalist (the neuroscience behind how we take decisions, and the chemistry of shampoo manufacture, for instance). This is also an account of how she tries to live at home (with her long-suffering partner), so all of the tips are tried and tested.
The 101 tips cover everything from motoring and travel, to holidays and gifts, from cooking and shopping, to cleaning and even reincarnation. Take one of these tips every day, and you’ll save the cover price in minutes – one tip alone could save you €500 a year. Recipes included!
