There are a number of ways in which money can be saved while going about everyday activities in the kitchen, an expert has claimed.Dena Ehrlich of the Boston Ethnic Foods Examiner suggested that many people are spending more time in the kitchen as they cut down on meals out.However, she observed that there are far more ways to cut costs than simply reducing the number of trips to restaurants and takeaways.A main area to make savings on is the kitchen tap, which can be used more often for two reasons.Drink more water. Not only is it free, its healthier than fake fruit juice and soda, Ms Ehrlich commented.Speaking of good ol H, two, and 0, drink water from the tap, or get a filter. Out with the expensive toxic plastic bottles, in with the re-usable metal ones. Vive la revolution!Being more creative with products in the kitchen and using them for more than one purpose is also recommended. Research from Morrisons has found that people in the UK are now reusing food more often.
