I`m afraid not in tesco. Do a google to find the cheapest

50% off (allegedly!) biobulb here:

Expensive P&P if you are buying just the one, though.

Free delivery if you buy 5 or over. Cost per bulb if you buy 5 is £7.50 delivered.

I pay £28 elec an £32 gas for a 3 bed semi with 2 people and a dog.
We use the tumble dryer loads for OH's shirts, and there is normally someone in during the day using electricity as we work shifts. So I think you are using rather a lot somewhere!
I found when I lived with house mates the bills were way way more; we were 3 girls all who blow dried and straightened our hair every day, watched 3 separate teles, and the other girls NEVER opened their curtains and were at home all day with all the lights on. They also used to walk round in their pants and a vest with the heating up to 28 degrees!

Thank you Kittie

I found your post every so helpful. I think I need an A4 notebook to jot down all the information on those links! Thanks for spending the time to research them for me.

Will the posters give me and indication who their suppliers are as my bill of £200 per month seem much higher than other poster with similar sized properties. We are a four person family - myself, husband and two small children and we are on a duel fuel contract which is supposed to save us money.

4 bed extended detached with gas heating, 4 of us there including 2 under 4's, we currently pay £35 month for gas (c.10500kwh per year with Ebico) and £45.50 month for electric(6000kwh per year with Scottish Power)

That said we just got £160 back from Ebico for overpayments over last couple of years which was anice touch

Kitty could you let me know which supplier you are using?
