does anyone know if using a power strip thing is cheaper? I want to see if i can make the electric go down to 70 again with all three of us there. Hey it save me money!
"One solution is to unplug appliances when not in use, Kammen said. An alternative is to group appliances on one surge protector or power strip so that all can be turned off at once. This works well for entertainment systems or for a computer and its associated printers, scanners and other peripheral devices."
