As a family with two young children, we are experiencing a squeeze on our finances. I'm sure many parents are in a similar situation. Essentially costs are going up everywhere, and wages in our industries (NHS and private health) are not increasing at the same rate. Our costs are mostly rising in our fuel, food and energy.
My questions are;
We currently pay £75 p/m for our gas and electric. Our supplier e-on is suggesting we increase to £100 p/m after reviewing our usage over the past year. Our current tariff deal ends in December. We have heard e-on are increasing their prices by a lot. What would be a good step to take to ensure we do not get ripped off? My wife recommended we choose a fixed 2 year tariff with e-on (around £106 P/M) to ensure our price is locked in for that time. Is that a good idea, or should we look to go elsewhere?
In addition to batch cooking and shopping at Aldi/Lidl has anyone got tips for reducing the food bill? We currently pay around £120 p/w for a family of four.
