Did anyone else get the Telegraph this weekend? Have been dipping in and out of the two free 'books' 1000 ways to save money and time. Has been very enlightening...

 

My favourite so far has to be ways to use old pillowcases, in particular when preparing a large amount of lettuce for salad the suggestion is to wrap the lettuce in the pillowcase, then place in washing machine on a rinse and spin programme.

 

I'm also considering covering my keyboard with clingfilm when I go on holiday so it stays nice and clean.....

I can't see how that suggestion saves either time or money tbh!

I got part one of this, don't buy Sunday papers. My favourite one was the suggestion of using a clothes peg to hold a nail when banging it into a wall, I've lost count of the number of times I banged my thumb instead of the nail

TBH the book wasn't organised very well at all, it was organised by things to use rather than what they did, so it meant that you'd spend half the time looking through it to find what you wanted.

I liked the advice to use hair conditioner as a makeup remover. So how does that save money then?

 

I think it may have been written by someone who doesn't really need to save either time or money.

I've got it too and have found some really good tips. I meant to get Sunday's but forgot!

We'll be expecting you to give us the edited highlights once you've read them all (tried & tested naturally) .

Most useful I've found today....

 

Use pepper to plug a leak in your car radiator.

 

Not sure if it matters whether it's black or white, but will now add condiments to my car's emergency kit.
