    Our biggest is food. Surprised it wasn't an option on it's own.

  • At university it was gas/electric as we didn't pay council tax. In my next house (once I move to London) it will probably be fairly close between gas/electricity and council tax.

    council tax is 68 a month so probably the highest, gas and electric are erratic as i use prepayment

  • The question says "Excluding mortgages, rents & food"

    Surely a mortgage is debt repayment?

    council tax at £121.00 a month,

    electricity and gas is variable and done quarterly so spreads the cost
