Gas and Elec increase.

I don’t have a smart meter so I’ve been going outside everyday just to see how much I’m using. I’ve used about 40kwh in the last 4 days. I’m electric only. Still equates to about £3.50 a day and I’m barely using electricity. Haven’t turned the heating on or cooked one meal. I’m freezing and hungry. That’s 2022 life now.

Mad how diff companies charge diff rates
I’m averaging £1.40 a day since 1st April on my leccy
 
My smart metre hasn’t been too bad the past couple of days but my credit still seems to drain away. I’ve averaged about 90p gas each day including the standing charge but it doesn’t seem to last more than 2/3 days when I top it up with £5. I don’t want to add a higher amount incase it drains as quickly.
 
We’re away atm and just checked our smart metre app and we used 63p yesterday, so I’m guessing that’s just for the fridge…

Not on this thread, but I'm seeing a lot of people confusing prepayment metres with smart metres.
We've got a smart metre and I'm getting a bit obsessed with watching it go up and go. It definitely makes you think about what you're using.

That's the main thing I'm worried about. Just sitting and watching it! But then knowing what I'm spending can't be a huge problem? Just got to make sure if we do get one, I'm not obsessively watching it.

Although I did go round yesterday turning all the plugs off before bed.

I'm seriously obsessed. I'm making notes of which washer cycle is cheapest and stuff. I'm driving myself mad tbh. I'll be glad to be back at work and oblivious 🙄😅

I was constantly watching when they put it in in January. Once I realised I had to charge it 3x a day, I turned it off and stuck it in the drawer 😂
I’m with EDF and on the app, they breakdown my usage, which is really good!

Isn't the smart metre the thing in the cupboard with the readings?
That thing you plug in is just a part of it? 😂
We don't use the plug in thing as it stopped working.. But our readings get sent directly to octopus energy because we have a smart metre.
So if you're worried about obsessing over the amounts it shows, you can just turn that off

Yer. Mine was plugged in on the side in the kitchen. Knocked me sick when I saw how much the microwave used 🤢
