I've always loved a cup of coffee, in fact I probably have four cuppas on an average day when working from home, but with household bills rising amid the energy crisis I have become a lot more conscious of the energy we use.
We've all been expecting a price cap rise this October, and today Ofgem announced a new figure of £3,549. From autumn the average household will be expected to pay nearly 80% more than today, and for many of us it's a large chunk of money.
My partner and I are on a direct debit tariff with EDF, and since being more mindful of what we spend we have had a few months of account credit to fall back on, which is a very fortunate position to be in. Since we don't have a smart meter I was unaware of just how much day-to-day appliances cost and was intrigued to find out.
