The cost of living is increasing and next month - which is only a couple of days away - will see the energy cap price increase with those living alone said to be among the worst affected.
People are already feeling the impact of inflation on the energy bills already with many being quoted upwards of £100 extra a month after the cap is enforced.
And the same is happening in the supermarkets too with the Office for National Statistics (ONS) revealing that supermarkets are upping their prices by a fair bit, with the cost of a pint of milk increasing by nearly a fifth in a year – one of the biggest price rises among a host of everyday purchases stretching family budgets.
