Giving a voice to consumers in Jersey since 1995

The Jersey Consumer Council is saddened by the death of one of our Council Members, Pat Le Masurier. Pat had been a committed and respected Member since July 2018, and was passionate about giving her time and experience to help improve consumer issues for Islanders.

September is often seen as a month for getting back into a routine. The summer holidays are over, children are back at school, and life starts to feel a little more organised again. It’s also a good time to take a fresh look at your household finances – including those regular payments that quietly leave your bank account each month.

September can often be a month of sales and special offers, as retailers clear their summer stock, and ‘back to school’ promotions and early Christmas deals appear in the shops. But before you go on a spending spree, ask yourself whether what you’re buying is really a bargain.

With the cost of living continuing to be a concern for many households, finding ways to make your money go further has never been more important – so we’ve been delighted to see a huge growth in users on our Prices.je site.

We recently helped a local resident recover more than £300, after identifying an error in the charges applied by a utility provider.

We’re looking for new Youth Representatives to join our Council for the next academic year, as our previous representatives prepare to leave the Island to attend university.
