With winter on its way along with higher gas and electricity bills, many are looking for cheaper ways to stay warm. Although Prime Minister Liz Truss announced measures to limit the rise in price, many are still concerned about having enough cash to put a hot meal on the table as the months roll on.
Last Thursday Ms Truss set a £2,500 cap on average energy bills in a bid to bring relief to households. It means the the typical home will pay no more than £2,500 a year for energy from October 1 for the next two years. It had been due to rise from £1,971 to £3,549 a year under Ofgem’s latest price cap announcement.
But as many continue to struggle financially, Money Saving Expert, founded by finance guru Martin Lewis, has suggested a number of ways you can stay warm without turning on the radiator. Many are even cheaper to use than a hot water bottle.
