It is the highest utility in the house, particularly in the summer. Step 1. Unplug every device in the house. Step 2. Replug in the essentials that HAVE to be on. Refrigerator, Alarm Clock, Water Heater. Sump Pump.. etc. Step 3. Now with all those unplugged. Only plug them back in when they are in use. A common misunderstanding is that items turned off in a wall socket , do not use power. They do. Another misunderstanding is that things like leaving a computer on all the time isnt costing you much. IT IS. My electric bil was running $200 a month before I did this, and I dropped my electric down to $75. Nightlights, wall lights, wall running air fresheners, all use power while plugged in an off, TV's as well, when off. small amounts but it adds up with all the devices. With the money you save in 6 months you can afford to buy yourself a small solar panel to expand your energy use, or lower costs further. A good way to save $$$$ is on cutting electricity costs.

Hey - here's another tip. Let someone hack your paypal account (like they did mine, stupid hackers) Then have your credit/debit card canceled because you thought it was compromised (like I did), then wait 7-10 days for your account to be transferred with your money, so you are FORCED not to spend a dime of it(because you have no way to take it out). LOL Great tips for saving money. Hey – here’s another tip.

I've since canceled my cable saving me $60 a month! I was only watching about an hour a week of television and paying such a ridiculous amount to do so. I can't believe I signed up for it in the first place. Yea, the advice is great. I’ve since canceled my cable saving me $60 a month!
