Many of us will have seen a significant increase in our energy bills this month after the price of electricity soared.
Annual bills for the typical household shot up to £2,500 at the start of October, which is an average increase of around £500 per year. Your bill will depend on how much energy you use, as the cap is for unit price of energy rather than the bill as as a whole.
And it looks likely that it won't go down anytime soon, meaning many people are trying to be more savvy with their money and make it go further.
One of the things that people can do is to be more mindful of their electricity usage when they're in the house.
Energy costs have soared due to many factors, so knowing how much each appliance uses means that it's easier to cut down on things that aren't always needed.
If you don't have a smart meter, it can be difficult to know exactly how much energy you're using on a day-to-day basis.
Matthew Jenkins, energy expert at MyJobQuote, has outlined exactly how much it costs to run some common household appliances, such as microwaves and kettles.
It's hoped that by being more aware of your energy usage, you can make smarter decisions and save money on bills in the long run.
While some appliances are easy to cut down on, your fridge is something that really should remain on at all times.
But the type of fridge you get can really affect how much you'll spend on running it.
Matthew explained: "An under-the-counter or integrated fridge with a reasonable efficiency and small capacity, should cost around £50 per year to run.
"In comparison, an American-style fridge-freezer with a large capacity and gadgets to dispense ice-cubes or filter water, can cost £200 or more to run."
When it comes to the kettle, only filling it
