A mum-of-two from Leeds has said her family’s energy bills have risen so much that she contemplating raiding bins outside supermarkets to feed her children.
Lauran Warren, who lives in Holbeck, told LeedsLive that despite living frugally, she and her husband Martyn are struggling to make ends meet. Their gas and electricity bill has doubled this month after the energy price cap was lifted by the government.
It means the family of four now spend £411 a month on their gas and electricity bill. They previously paid around £220 a month.
