How do you save on the electric bill

My room mate was complaining about the electricity bill last night. So I asked her, do you want to know how to save money on electricity? Her smart @ss remark was, turn off the fans in your rooms? (like they take up that much energy) I said, why do you need to do the heated dry in the dishwasher, do you realize how much energy that takes up? "well I dont like wet plates" Then stop complaining about the electricity bill!

oh please, how wet are they? And does she really unload it the minute the dishwasher is done? Open the door when it starts the dry cycle and within a fairly short period of time (even in the humid climates I've lived in) the dishes are dry. Another good thing on this is that if a dish or glass doesn't come fully clean, the stuff on/in it won't be baked on and will come off much easier.
