I believe it was Markio in this list that said:

"I think, the easiest way (maybe not easiest, but more efficient) to cut the electricity cost is:
(those are the things that use the most electricity in my house)

#1 Use less AC
#2 Hang your laundry
#3 Stop watching TV (will save on cable if you have any and on time[ and time is $$, joking])

And those are things that I do, but they not saving me that much:

Turn the lights off when nobody is in the room ( and I don't turn the outside light for overnight like some of my neighbors), I have those energy-saving long-lasting bulbs.

Try to take shower when it's light outside (I have a window in my bathroom), so I don't have to turn the lights for extra 10-15 min

Try to do all the things (like fix up clothes: changing zipper, fix the hole, etc: reading, and ocasional painting (trims), also cleaning) when it's light outside.

Close my blinds when it's hot an sunny, so the sun wouldn't heat the room.

When I need to thaw something from the freezer, I would put it in the frige 24-48 hours before I need to use it, depends on the size of the item. That would make the frige work less hard and I don't have to use microwave."

These are some great tips and I wanted to bring them to the forfront for others to catch!
