Speaking today (March 23) after the Spring Statement, MSE's Martin Lewis said his "head sunk" when he heard Rishi Sunak's address to the House of Commons as he warned of a "bleak winter" for struggling families.
In one tweet, Martin said: "If that's all he's doing on energy - it is limited and won't impact the majority of households who will see a likely £1,300 average increase in year-on-year bills by October. My head has sunk. I just hope there's a rabbit to come out of the hat."
So with many trying to save as much as they can, what are some thing you can do to help your bills and are some tips you've heard actually true?
Here's everything you need to know.
Should I leave my heating on low throughout the day or only as and when I need it?
According to MSE experts at the Energy Saving Trust (EST) state that the idea of bills being lower if you leave the heating on all day is a myth.
They explain: "They're clear that having the heating on only when you need it is, in the long run, the best way to save energy, and therefore money. (A timer's best as your thermostat turns your heating on and off to keep your home at the temperature you set.) The key thing to understand here is that it's all about the total amount of energy required to heat your home.
"It's a given that a certain amount of energy is constantly leaking out of your home (how much will depend on how good your insulation is). The Energy Saving Trust says if you're keeping the heating on all day you're losing energy all day, so it's better to heat your home only when you need it."
Will my bills reduce if I put clingfilm on my windows?
Strangely this is actually true and not a myth at all - but it does depend on what windows you have.
The idea behind this handy trick is to put a sheet over your windows in a bid to traps a small layer of air which can help stop heat escaping.
MSE explain: "You can use any material for the second layer of glazing, as long as it's transparent and airtight. However, while clingfilm works in theory, in practice you'll probably want to use specialist secondary glazing as it'll last longer. If you have double glazing, adding a third layer could make you a little warmer, but the benefit will be much less than when dealing with a single-glazed window.
"If your windows are draughty, it's worth fixing that as well as adding secondary glazing, as otherwise you'll only get half the benefit."
Is leaving items on standby really an issue?
Leaving an item on standby is always said to be one of the worst things to do when you're trying to save money.
Known as 'vampire power', the money saving experts state that many devices such as games consoles, laptops and TVs draw small amounts of power when not in use but still plugged in and turned on at the socket - an issue that can easily be solved by switching devices off at the wall.
They explain: "But there's some debate about how effective this is – the Energy Saving Trust still says you can save about £35/year by turning off your appliances at the plug, but a recent report by The Sunday Times said that to achieve this you'd need a massive 38 TVs.
"While the report focused mainly on TVs, it is said that most modern devices consume much less power while on standby than they used to. So while you may not save as much as the Energy Saving Trust says, it can still be worth doing – all devices will still use a small amount of power, and this can add up."
Should you be using an electric heater?
MSE states that "electric heaters are one of the most expensive forms of heating" and the cheapest way to heat your home, as backed up by EST, is to purchase an efficient gas central heating system that comes with a full set of thermostatic radiator valves, a room thermostat and a timer.
Keep the doors closed
You may notice that when you worked in the office, the house was warmed.
This is simply down to the fact that not many people will be in the house and doors won't be opening and closing.
MSE explain: "It's better to keep doors closed for rooms that you don't heat, says the Energy Saving Trust. Radiators, electric panel heaters and convection heaters all work by creating a convection current in a room. As hot air rises, it circles around to the other side of the room, cools and sinks and travels back along the floor to the heater to be reheated again. Closing doors makes sure this current remains within the designated space, and stops cold air entering."
