Default Re: Unplugging things- how much does it really save?
Well, i checked around my house and found four things I knew are pulling power, but we do not need them on. One was my typewriter, the other was a small electric heater that I keep by my feet next to the computer. (the red light was on) The light was also on, on a lamp with a sliding control in the dining room. We never eat there and never use that lamp. The biggest thing was a vcr (old) that has been flashing on and off for 10 years in our kitchen cabinet. Never use that vcr!!
I turned off my dog's elec. blanket, but will turn it on again tonight.
