Prices seem to be rising absolutely everywhere right now. The food shop is not as cheap as it once was, council tax has increased for many of us and let's not get started on getting school clothes for the next academic year.
Like many families, our own finances have been squeezed in the last 12 months as the country continues to deal with an economic crisis. While looking around for ways to save a bit of cash, it was fairly obvious where the biggest drain on resources came from and where I could make changes - TV and broadband.
I've been with Sky for years now but with a busy family and work life, I've never picked up the phone and made the cancellation call, instead just watching the monthly price rise and rise, year on year. Being a lover of most sports, we took out the full package when we joined and it had slowly increased up to £150.
