Money Saving Expert Martin Lewis has warned that Brits can be charged £273 a year without using any energy at all. With energy prices rising at an alarming rate, many people are being forced to choose between heating their homes and eating.
For some, the crisis has become so life-threatening they have been forced to turn essential appliances like fridges and freezers off in a bid to save money. Others have cut down on TV use, washing clothes and cooking.
