A “struggling” Leeds dad has resorted to keeping his lights turned off and living in the dark, as the cost of living continues to skyrocket.
Tracey Hope, 61, tries to avoid his home as much as possible in a bid to keep the energy bills down, spending much of his days on walks around local parks. Hot water and heating is also out of the question – if he needs it, he’ll switch the kettle on.
Tracey has been living on sandwiches as food bills rise, only buying the cheapest products. This comes as households are expected to pay £700 extra on energy bills over the next year, with the energy cap lifting in April.
