To help combat the rising energy prices this winter, I’ve been weighing up my spending options when it comes to heating my home.
Camping indoors
All of this pondering oddly brought up memories of camping trips that I have taken in the past. Like many other campers, I would often use butane gas canisters on these little excursions.
I would typically do this whenever I wanted to cook food or boil water. This got me thinking that I could probably use this method in the upcoming months.
Shopping on the internet for gas
I checked online for butane gas camping stoves in the hope of making a purchase. Sadly, I found that the prices (for whatever reason) had more than doubled compared to this time last year. I probably should have seen this coming given the current energy crisis.
Clearly, this made my idea not really worthwhile considering the extra money I would have to spend to accomplish this. The cost of doing this would surely cancel out my intended savings.
Searching through the clutter
Fortunately for me, I already have a half used butane gas canister stored in my house that I had bought years ago. After some digging, I found it buried away under a bunch of other stuff in my attic. I share a home with only one other person so there should be enough gas left in there for both our needs.
Correspondingly, I knew that I could use this in the near future to help me save money on energy. I decided this would be better than paying the extortionate energy prices that are being predicted by experts.
Even though I faced some setbacks, I was just glad that this whole endeavor didn’t turn out to be a complete lost cause. Do you own any butane gas canisters that you can utilize for this purpose? What other ideas can you think of when it comes to saving money on energy?
