As the cost of living crisis continues to soar, alongside the energy price cap rise, many UK households are looking for ways to save on their gas and electricity bills.
New studies have shown that leaving everyday appliances on standby can cost bill payers hundreds each year. The Express reports that many cash-strapped Brits can't afford to lose this money, but there is a way to solve the problem.

Natalia said: "This is because electricity will be allowed to run through, thereby increasing your energy use and, sadly, your energy bills."
