the cost of living is going up...

[raised by monkeys]

G'day all,

Ive recently received an energy bill, and given its been winter, the extra use of the heater and clothes dryer than other times of the year, the cost of living as your all aware is soaring. Im currently with Origin, for both electricity and gas. I received a letter in late 2010 stating that the prices for origin would increase, and received another in July this year. Its rediculous.

For thos other south Aussies, have you noticed that with heavy rains etc. that SA water have not reduced the cost of water, even though we no longer need to preserve as we did through tough drought?

Which energy providers do you beleive offer the cheapest rates?
