Default Re: Least frugal thing you do?

well, it's not an issue now, but i happily pay dearly to keep my AC on. where i'm at, not running the AC invites insane humidity and possibly mold/spore issues, so i guess in a way it's responsible seriously, though, i keep it *gulp* at 70 or below in the summer. nice thing about an older house w/ thick plaster walls is that my highest bill was still only 154!

it works out well n the winter, though: heated mattress pad and a wood stove, and my electric bills are nothing until may. actually just built our first fire in the new house night before last: it was 60 niside and DH was chilly. amazingly, i did not quote my father & tell him to "put some clothes on!"
