Is French supermarket trend for ‘monthly subscription’ worth doing?
How much would you have to spend to make the schemes truly cost-saving?
Cut-price power in-store
Supermarket giant E.Leclerc will this autumn start offering to supply electricity to customers at prices that will be 16% below the regulated price for energy.
