You may remember that back in the beginning of the year I had a little mini series on saving money. Hopefully it helped you in some way. In one of the posts I mentioned that we were switching all our bulbs to the energy efficient kind. We also started unplugging everything--including our washer and dryer, etc. I mentioned that I'd follow up with you on the difference that it made in our bills. So here you go...
I'll be honest. We were doing pretty good, but became a little soft in some of the areas. Overall, we are still unplugging and trying to save energy though.
Our bill in January was $97.60. This was before any changes. We changed all our bulbs at the end of January/beginning of February. We also started unplugging things around that same time. Our February bill dropped down to $83.47. Not bad, huh? Especially since last year the February bill was $93.79.
Our bill has pretty much remained in the low 80's where last year's bills were in the 90's. We are essentially saving $10 a month. Last year's May bill was $96.20, this year's May bill was $79.67. I'll take it! A savings is a savings in my book, and I'll take whatever I can get these days! :)
