How much do you spend per day on electricity?

We had a smart meter fitted last week and I've been surprised to see we spend on average 90p per day.
I feel this is quite low but probably because it's summer.

Just curious as to how much other people use to see if ours is high/low in comparison.

I just checked my meter and I used 1.40 yesterday,

in July I used 55.45 in the entire month, that includes
normally 2 wash loads a day,
2 dryer loads (I don't have an outside line at the moment),
at least one fan going in the daytime often 3,
at least one dishwasher load,
2 alexa dots,
Lamps in the evening,
security cameras,
tv,
oven at least every other day,
fridge freezer is a constant and
power shower at least alternating days,
lifeline alarm unit,
Cats water fountain,

So for July that averages at approximately 1.79 per day

I think I use about 70-80p a day lately but obviously no tumble drying at the moment, but equally I am running computers from home and cooking at home more so I think that evens out overall.

No idea on daily as I don’t have a smart meter but I pay £40 a month.
5 bed house, washing machine on at least once a day, dryer occasionally, hoover twice weekly minimum, laptops/phones/TVs etc.

Currently between £1.50 and £2 a day. In the winter usually about £7.50 a day. Small three bed mid terrace, all electric. If I was to leave the water heater on to heat up overnight that would be an extra £2.50 a day.

We are sixty a month on average so I'd say two pounds per day. Washing machine and dishwasher once a day, charging various devices, husband WFH so laptopsand monitors, five hundred lights left on by my children when they leave the room...
