This month has been dubbed 'Awful April', given the wave of price hikes coming into force. From water bills to broadband tariffs, there are lots of prices are going up this month. With inflation still high, this year's increases will be especially painful for families who are already struggling with rising prices. But if you're worried about how much your energy bills will cost or whether your council tax is going up, you might be able to cut costs elsewhere to help cushion the blow.
Personal finance expert Andrew Hagger from Moneycomms says: “April is going to be a miserable month for most families who are facing a sudden range of extra costs in their household budgets - council tax, broadband, telephone, water bills, mobile phone and for some mortgages too will all become more expensive during this month.
