A mum is considering raiding supermarket bins in order to feed her two daughters, as her energy bills double. Lauran Warren is one of the millions of parents struggling to keep their heads above water as the cost of living surges.
Lauran Warren, 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.
