Hailed as 'worth its weight in gold' by Gaby Roslin and 'great for the pocket and the planet' by Daisy Upton of Five Minute Mum fame, this ingenious guide is a treasure trove of economical wisdom. Fancy tackling stubborn stains, maximising your microwave's potential, or banishing mould safely? Look no further.
Sunday Times bestselling author and Great British Bake Off champion Nancy Birtwhistle presents a compendium of 101 clever, cost-effective, and environmentally-friendly tips for running a thrifty household. From her renowned 12p laundry detergent to her celebrated 'Pure Magic' formula, Nancy's hacks have garnered a devoted following on social media.
Drawing from her experiences as a child in post-war Hull and as a single working mother, Nancy combines time-honoured frugality with modern eco-consciousness. She astutely observes, 'Previous generations excelled at being "budget-friendly" long before "eco-friendly" entered our lexicon. By marrying these concepts, we can confront today's challenges with a sense of empowerment, resilience, and resourcefulness.'
The Green Budget Guide is an essential companion for those seeking to harmonise financial prudence with environmental stewardship. Nancy's wealth of household management expertise, accumulated over a lifetime, is now at your fingertips.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
