Household bills are one of the only expenses that apply to almost every adult in the country - regardless of whether they are a homeowner, student or permanent tenant.

In any of these situations, the most traditional household monthly costs were 'rates', water, electricity and gas - or other kinds of fuel, like oil. But, while these have not gone away, today's house-holder will face even more monthly and quarterly expenses dropping on the doormat, including landline and broadband services, satellite and cable television and mobile phones.

But, while you can at least survive without these modern amenities, unfortunately it is life's 'staples' such as Council Tax and energy, both of which have soared in recent years, that continue to represent householders' biggest struggles.

However, what has also changed during this time is the number of providers offering different energy tariffs, making it easier to switch to the cheapest for your particular usage and circumstances. You can also opt to switch to a water meter if you think it will work out cheaper - while the phone and broadband market is rife with competition. So, while you will have to budget for, grin and bear some household bills, don't feel at the mercy of others.
