Octopus Agile more than likely. It is the way forward
Indeed. Agile Octopus tariff. People are really missing a trick here, particularly those who are working from home. I signed up expecting to save a small amount each month. But it has generated a much bigger saving than I thought (and I carry on as I normally would; no cooking meals at funny times etc. as it's really not worth the pennies it saves).
