10 Lovely Frugal Hyggye Lifestyle Tips

So hygge is all about comfort and warmth. But it is NOT about whacking up the heating.

And racking up the utility bills.

Instead use these simple hygge ideas to stay warm and cosy …

First off put on a vest – yep, granny knew best, simple layers keep us warm.
Especially when combined with a big thick, roll neck Danish style sweater.
And channeling your granny again slip on your fluffiest slippers.
… or thick woolly socks because recent science shows feet are even more important than our head for keeping us warm.
Then you’re all ready to turn the lights down in the living room light some candles …
… wrap up in a favourite blanket …
… and with the TV & devices off read aloud a magical story, a Christmas story … or even a Christmas ghost story.
Or head to the bedroom, snuggle into your warmest pyjamas and read more together.
Just don’t forget some bed socks.
And a good old fashioned hot water bottle.

Sounds lovely right? But money saving? Truly?

Well yes BECAUSE all that hygge inspired cosy, layering up lets us turn the heating down.

And we can save £2-300 on our heating bills just by sticking to hygge keep warm habits.

Which is a great frugal start for beginners.

BUT we can save loads more if we use those frugal earnings to snowball energy bills.
