2nd day here but already
I have made some changes.
1. at nite, unplug cable converter and tv
2. unplug computer powerstrip from wall
3. tucked a 20.00 bill inside my plastic jug. Been saving change in a empty giant plastic bottle that came from walmart. Originally it had animal crackers in it. Perfect for change. Probably 2 gallons. The change I began saving on my own about 6 months ago. Got to thinking about it and found this website.
I'm more aware of what I'm spending and the electricity.

Re: 2nd day here but already
Great start, I have been here 7 months, and have saved quite a bit with all these tips. (turn off your hot water heater when not taking a shower or running the dishwasher)

Re: 2nd day here but already
the hot water boiler is in the basement of the highrise. I mean I can turn the heat up down or off I just dont have to pay it. I am conservative though. I am surviving the heat with bix box fans....not sure if I want to deal with AC bills.

Re: 2nd day here but already
So hot water and heat are not part of your electric bill? I have never lived in an apartment or in a big city!

But he was anything but frugal, probably one of the reasons I divorced him.  [Automated by GetSmile] |

Re: 2nd day here but already
Welcome, FrugalBachelor.
When you're ready to go hardcore, sell your TV and cancel your cable. That way, you'll save even more than just the electricity!
Why are you looking at me like that? It'll be fine. See? Ignore the eye-twitching.
