Woman shares top tip for killing weeds for just £1.18

It can be really tricky to get rid of persistent weeds when they pop up in your garden. No one enjoys the task of weeding as it can be really time-consuming.

It can be really expensive to get rid of weeds thanks to costly sprays or solutions. If you have a large garden to clear then this could rack up the costs on the amount of weed killer you need.

The woman shared the top on a money-saving group on Facebook after she said came across the instructions for making your own at home. She suggested using a litre of white vinegar, three large spoons of salt, three large spoons of washing-up liquid and a spray bottle.

Her mum already had most of the ingredients - which are common household products - she bought 59p bottles of vinegar from Home Bargains.

"My Mum was talking about the weeds growing up between the slabs on her driveway and path. Couldn't sleep the other night so started googling away. Came across this website detailing how to make your own weed killer at home. Bought the vinegar from Home Bargains (59p for 500ml) and she already had the rest of the ingredients needed," she said.

"£1.18 was all it cost, and after using it on Sunday she said it's the best weed killer ever! Hope this helps someone out."

And the good news for anyone wanting to give it a go, is that you can get white vinegar for an even cheaper price. Aldi sells 568ml bottles for just 32p, while Tesco is even cheaper at 29p. You're welcome.
