From turning off the boiler to selling up, the BBC speaks to those cutting costs as prices rise.
One charity worker in the town said the £400 energy discount and a cap on prices was "not even going to touch the side" for many.on the town's seafront, said the building's energy bill had risen from £15,000 to £55,000 per year.
On the verge of tears, Ms Nendick says: "As a charity we've always generated our own income and I've been very very proud of that. The 71-year-old, who lives on her basic state pension of £137.50 per week, says the final straw was when she realised she was paying more in bills than her income."And I'll be quite honest - I don't know how far it will go before I finally say I can't cope with this it's too cold I'm turning the boiler on.
The house-proud former chef has made other economies including only washing dishes every few days and buying a hot water dispenser so she only heats the water she needs.'I'm not taking this lightly. Its either, as the old phrase says, laugh or cry. I'd rather laugh. But actually, this isn't funny this is serious," she says grimly.
