Uswitch comments on rise in the rate of inflation

Commenting on the latest Consumer Price Index figures published today, Tashema Jackson, money expert at Uswitch.com, says: “Today’s rising inflation figure presents more bad news for consumers, who have already seen their household finances stretched as everyday bills have risen £500 in a year, and could result in many needing to tighten their belts to make ends meet during the expensive festive season.

“Bearing this news in mind, it’s never been more important to ensure you are managing your finances sensibly. Making small savings where possible can make all the difference when it comes to the end of the month. You can compare prices on most of your household expenses and switching to the right deals could help you cut your essential outgoings by hundreds of pounds over the course of the year.

“There are now also a number of budgeting apps available from banks to help you keep a track of your daily and weekly spending – you may be surprised at where you can make savings.”
