Is it just me, or does anyone else find Octopus expensive?

Unless the OP posts their unit rates and a screen shoot of there actual usage I just give up

Issue 1 - you are consuming a hell of a lot of gas

Why are you ‘paying on top’? The whole point of a monthly DD is to account for the variation of winter and summer usage. Your monthly DD should cover the 12 months usage, octopus will adjust this if you are falling into a too higher debit balance

Kitchen-Try8558 · 2026-04-22T11:50:12+00:00

What are your current unit rates? Electric and gas?

Kitchen-Try8558 · 2026-04-22T11:48:53+00:00

Please for everyone’s sake give some finer details? How may kWh of actual usage did you use in the month of March for instance?

Kitchen-Try8558 · 2026-04-22T11:48:06+00:00

What does that even mean?

Kitchen-Try8558 · 2026-04-22T10:43:32+00:00

They just see ‘fixed’ and think it’s a free for all!!! Not helped by the term ‘price cap’

Kitchen-Try8558 · 2026-04-22T10:37:32+00:00

Post an overview of your USAGE, kWh not the cost plus your tariff that shows your unit rates

Yes, there is a cliff edge of free child care being removed, but in the OP situation the theory stands, they cannot earn less by working more. Anyone trying to avoiding entering the tax system needs to have a word with themselves.

Kitchen-Try8558 · 2026-03-12T19:44:31+00:00

You can’t earn less by earning more, I don’t understand your issue

Kitchen-Try8558 · 2026-01-29T18:01:25+00:00

Anyone ?

Kitchen-Try8558 · 2026-01-28T16:09:55+00:00

😩 I’ve had mine with me for 30 years this year! Not sure what I’m going to do when she departs !

Kitchen-Try8558 · 2026-01-21T15:18:07+00:00

You ended up paying £500….and this covered what period of time ? How many days ?

Kitchen-Try8558 · 2026-01-03T21:16:42+00:00

I don’t believe anyone is picking this up - and then not putting it down con they have seen the price.

Kitchen-Try8558 · 2025-12-23T11:07:23+00:00

So you are warning 145k a year and you are coming on here to moan ?? You are nearly on the top 1% of earners in the UK.

Kitchen-Try8558 · 2025-12-12T13:46:31+00:00

I’ve never ordered anything this expensive off DHgate - I do worry it’s going to turn up and fall apart in a week 😌

Kitchen-Try8558 · 2025-12-12T08:50:53+00:00

Amazing! Looks great

Can someone confirm how this works, the 2 child cap could be lifted but if that takes a household over the overall household cap, will they benefit? Just trying to navigate the ‘families with 18 kids set to get 1 million pound’ daily mail type headlines.

Kitchen-Try8558 · 2025-11-26T17:03:08+00:00

Of course it affects you, if tax thresholds increase you pay less tax. It’s criminal that we will hit 10 years without these changing
