No More Teabags is Saving Us Money - August 2018
Approximate $ Savings: $4 per month
We have gone back to using tea leaves in a teapot. I pulled out our old 4 cup tea pot and gave it a spit and polish (or a wash and dry!). I've discovered that the tea has a better flavour, and the packet of tea lasts so much longer than buying packets of teabags. A bonus is that if we want a second cuppa, the pot is still hot enough, so we don't need to boil the kettle again (a small power saving). It's so much easier to put the used tea leaves in the compost, worm farm or garden that I haven't put used tea leaves into the rubbish for almost three months.
