I bought a van and went off-grid to save £2k a year on energy and mortgage bills

foodWhen she was working as a gas engineer Jess said she would buy garage sandwiches which not only cost a lot, they left her feeling unhealthy too.She said: "The lifestyle of working on the road - it's pretty unhealthy.

"We cook very much vegan in the van, but we do have meats and dairy because I now have more time to cook."So I can spend about £3 a night between the two of us." And despite the initial hefty cost of forking out for the van and fixing it up to a liveable standard, Jess said she'd definitely suggest others do the same.Jess said: "To buy the van was £7,000 and to renovate it was £18,000 but we looked at it like the mortgage deposit on the second house.How else can I save on my energy bills?

So you became a modern gypsy... congratulations

Looks like you got it stuck already.

Not really worth it just to save 2k!

Only £2k?
