So increasingly there are suggestions as to how to save energy.
Buy an electric throw/electric blanket/microwave/slow cooker/air friar.
And then people will tell you that these cost almost nothing to run.
Except they often cost £££ to buy, and if you settle for cheap you’re settling for a false economy.
Electric blankets/throws are notoriously unreliable and have a tendency to break.
Air friars are small so if you want to cook whole meals in them you need something like a double drawer ninja which costs a fortune.
So while you will be saving money on the energy, you’re actually going to be spending it on the measures to save on the energy.
Obviously if you already have these items then the cost has already gone.
But if you don’t then surely people should be thinking twice about whether to rush out and spend money they potentially don’t have on items which are going to cost them anyway?
