With the holidays approaching, many parents faced with the rising cost of living will be struggling to entertain the kids at home. But even the ‘cost saving’ option of staying at home will hit parents where it hurts financially.
Loop energy saving app calculates a family of four can expect to add nearly £80 to energy bills with the kids at home over the Easter holidays. Steve Buckley, head of data at energy saving app, Loop said: “The Easter holidays will hit just after the energy price cap increase on April 1, so many families are looking for ways to cut back on their spending.
“The school holidays can take a toll on parent’s purse strings as they look for ways to keep the kids entertained whilst they’re off school. But this year, costly family outings, holidays and treats may be off the cards for many families due to the cost-of-living crisis.
