No real spending today... so time to start on the the 'fixed' costs.
First up, energy.
In the last year I've increased the consumption of gas by 17% and of electricity by 25%.
If I can reduce my energy use back to 2009 levels (fingers crossed we don't have a cold snap), that would be start.
But given part of the increase in electricity was due to cooking at home more last year, this may be difficult to reduce massively. So, what do the price comparison sites say?
Current supplier, British Gas' site gives an error message when I try and enter my details and moneysupermarket doesn't carry any listings for my postcode.
USwitch was the only site that would actually give me any results, but suggested that if I swapped I would end up paying at least £172 a year MORE!
Think I'll give British Gas a call tomorrow and see if there's anything I can do...
But as for savings today: 0.
