Word of the Day: Vacuum flask/vacuum bottle
This gentleman in today’s picture is looking after his pennies by using a vacuum bottle.
Because he is doing this, the pounds will look after themselves.
A vacuum flask or vacuum bottle is an insulated container that keeps a liquid hot for a long time.
They’re often known by the brand name Thermos.
You can take them to work, on a hike or just along with you when you go for a drive.
Vacuum bottles come in all sizes, and investing in one can help you save money in the long term.
You can get ones that hold a single serving of coffee.
These are usually called travel mugs, or you can buy large vacuum flasks that can hold up to 2 litres or even more.
