Although Refugee is technically correct this is a very minor effect. To a decent approximation, anyting with a switchmode PSU will use the same amount of electricty on any voltage within its range.
Lights will be dimmer and use less. You might or might not notice this.
Anything that makes heat as its main purpose will use less but take longer to do it. So boiling a kettle or making toast would take longer. Net effect just about zero. Charging an electric car may take less power but also take longer so no net effect.
Fans, vacuum cleaners etc will be slightly less powerful but you probably won't notice so a slight saving there.
Vintage kit would probably need to be set to a different tapping. A slight saving on AC/DC kit as less lost in the dropper.
Overall effect on bills? For most people it will be negligible.
