I went to pick up two bags of coal yesterday to tide me over the next week or two, I mentioned that I was thinking of buying now for next winter as prices are bound to rise. I was told that coal prices are rising fast and to jump now, they're putting up prices on 1st May and there's another rise forecast for September. I am having 50 bags of coal delivered next week to stash away for next winter, I'm also doing a welding job for the coal yard owner soon and he can pay me with more coal, if I end up with around 70 or 80 bags of coal I'll be warm all winter without worries about cost.
The point being made is that if you buy coal or use coal and can afford to spend the money, do what I've done and buy it now, if it goes up £1 a bag I've just saved £50 and that's five bags more than I wouldn't be getting for the same money next winter, five bags can be four weeks warmth at the start or end of winter.
