How much on average do you use a day?

How much on average does your smart meter says you have used each day? For gas and electric I average between £3 & £5 a day depending on how many loads of washing I’ve done, if I’ve used the drier etc etc. I’m wondering if I use much more than others as my direct debit is currently £255 and going up to £474 in October and I think that is a lot of money

No gas, well just the standing charge (42p) and like you varying amounts for electricity depending mostly on laundry. We've got an electric car too so if that charged it can be £8ish. £5 ish for a heavy washing day and £3ish for an average day.

I’ve never been so invested with how much I spend! It’s ridiculous 🤣

Summer readings have been around 1.80-2 electric except weekends due to cooking. £3 Sunday.
Gas...about £.50 to £1
Family of 5 currently live here but teens off out a lot. Have had rates set for over a year so no price rises included in that.

At the moment about £1.50 average gas and electric but only one DC at home now

About £2.70 a day including standing charge.

Is anyone else thinking £1.50 a day, that's doable, £3 a day, that's going to be £90 a month and that's without having the heating on?

Noddy21 · 21/09/2022 22:48

I am dreading having to have the heating on!

Electricity only, currently around £2.50/£3.00 a day. This will obviously go up massively once we have heating on.
