How are you cutting back in this cost of living crisis? Let us know youandyours@bbc.co.uk

On our phone in we're asking: How are you cutting back in this cost of living crisis?

With prices rising and millions of households facing sharp increases in energy bills from Friday, how are you preparing to meet these extra costs?

The Office for Budget Responsibility said last week that due to inflation and rising taxes, real household disposable incomes per person will fall by 2.2 per cent in 2022-23, in the biggest drop in a year since records began in 1956. And research from Royal London pension company found that with the level and speed of price rises, nine out of 10 of us (89%) are looking to make changes to pay for the cost of living increases.

Will you go out less, save less, cut back on the food shop, turn off the heating?
