I’m a savvy mum and my trick saves money during the heatwave AND keeps my plants watered | The Sun

WITH the cost of living soaring and a hosepipe ban set to affect some of the country loads of Brits are trying to use less water.

A savvy mum shared her clever trick to make the most out of her bathwater and people love the idea.

Posting the clip on TikTok, @fortyfab0 captioned the clip: "No wasting water here! My husband taught me this hack, handy when you wanna keep your garden healthy."

She said: "I've just had a lovely bath but there's a lot of water I don't want to waste."

"Gravity takes over and the water flows from your tub into your water butt," she said.
