Ever thought about getting your hands dirty in the name of homemade, but been put off by long lists of equipment requirements and costly ingredients? You’ll be relieved to hear it’s not all one-use gadgets and pricey parts. In fact, some of the best handmade bits can be created using items easily located in a supermarket. Plus, they’re often cheaper than the readymade products, too. Take vinegar for example – a 568ml bottle of distilled white vinegar costs as little as 39p at Tesco. And just think, from kitchens to bathrooms, clothes to coffee cups, it can clean almost anything, and for a fraction of the price, too. Inspired? Browse our fave homemade hacks.
