Miss Thrifty2 September 22, 2010
Remember Yorkshire Water’s summer competition to find Yorkshire’s Thriftiest Granny? I was invited to judge some of the entries and featured a selection of the thriftiest tips.
Here’s a video of the eventual winner, Katrina Cowell from Colton in Leeds, telling Yorkshire Water’s Edna and Mary about some of her top tricks.
This thrifty granny has now won £1000 to take her family on holiday. Her winning tip?
Put leftover teabags onto garden roses – they act as an amazing compost and make roses bloom!

Save money by boycotting Yorkshire Water’s rip-off charges!

Nice idea, but they have a monopoly. How are you going to boycott WATER?
