My Sainsburys Energy tariff expires at the end of next month.
Currently my standing charge is around 26p a day, 9p kWh day rate and 7p kWh night rate for electricity.
Gas is 26p day and 3.9pkWh.
Their new tariffs all look the same to me;
26p a day and 17p day and 7p a night for electricity and about 4.5p for gas.
Anyone have any recommendations? I did a quick run through on uswitch and the best quotes were from companies I'd never heard (Flow, Bulb, etc)
I was (until yesterday) on Sainsbury's fixed deal, something like "June 2017 Fix". I was paying £88 pcm for gas & electricity.Currently my standing charge is around 26p a day, 9p kWh day rate and 7p kWh night rate for electricity.

They sent me a note that the fixed deal was expiring and that my revised monthly payment would be £179
In other words, double. Well, they can F.R.O with that. Nothing about "if you revert to our standard tariff, it will cost x but we can offer you a new deal on Tariff B".Jumped straight on uSwitch, it seems that the Sainsburys fixed deal (for which, incidentally, my direct debit was going straight to British Gas!) was pretty good. Cheapest I could get was an extra £30 pcm so I've gone with that.

This was the same deal I was on with Sainsburys Energy, it was very good imo.They sent me a note that the fixed deal was expiring and that my revised monthly payment would be £179

I also had the same notification that my bill would be increasing to around the same.
Today is the first day with Flow (the cheapest I could find) and I set up my energy monitor this morning to reflect the new tariffs. It's already at 80p used today, it's normally around 4pm before I'd have used that much
On my previous Sainsburys Tariff I averaged between £1.10-£1.28 a day in Summer and around £1.50 in Winter!

closed my Sainsbury account the other month - still taken payments called them and each time its 20 minutes to get to a agent - email sent instead sod it
Fairly sure the t
ts still owe me money. When I pulled them on it prior to leaving they said they'd send a final bill and reimburse what was owed. I've received neither.Was with SSE, went through all the comparison sites with their projected savings etc.
Basically the saving was based on the maximum theoretical tariff so not really saving as much as they say.
Went through comparing tariffs and AVRO came out best for us.
21p SC for both gas and electric with KW unit prices of 2.9p and 13.23p
I'd recommend doing your own homework as well as looking at projected savings.

I just stay on the standard tariff.
The hassle of changing and risk of trying yourself into a contract can far exceeds the savings.
You can make greater savings just being a bit more careful. If it's yellow....
When I last switched it took less than 10 minutes and saved over £500/year. Well worth the 'hassle'.The hassle of changing and risk of trying yourself into a contract can far exceeds the savings.
