00:00Hi, I'm Alex Nelson, here with your top money and finance stories this week.
00:05Let's dive in.
00:13First up, energy bills.
00:16Ofgem is shaking things up, requiring suppliers to offer at least one tariff with a lower
00:20standing charge by January.
00:22That's the daily fee you pay, even if you don't use much energy.
00:25It won't cut bills for everyone, costs may just shift into the per unit price, but it
00:31does give households more choice on how they pay.
00:35Next, if covering essentials is getting harder, the Household Support Fund is here to help.
00:40Run by local councils, it can provide grants, energy top-ups or vouchers for those struggling
00:45with food, heating or bills.
00:48Support varies depending on where you live, so check your council's website to see what
00:52you're eligible for.
00:52And finally, looking for a festive income boost?
00:57Aldi is hiring 4,500 store roles across the UK ahead of Christmas, with positions ranging
01:03from store assistants to management.
01:06Many of these are permanent roles, so it's not just a seasonal gig.
01:10Plus, all stores will be closed on Boxing Day and New Year's Day, giving staff guaranteed
01:15time off.
01:16That's your quick finance round-up for the week.
01:18I'm Alex Nelson, keep an eye on your bills, check what support you can get, and maybe
01:23consider a Christmas job if you want to earn a bit extra.
