Our utility bills are way too high for an 1100 sq ft apartment. All the advice given so far is great. sorry for kinda hijacking the thread to rant....it felt good  |
I have a 1100 sq fot apartment & my electric bill is anywhere from $29 to $38 per month.
All rooms have fluorescent light bulbs.
We do laundry once a week.
None of my clothes go in the dryer as I hang them up, her clothes go in the dryer. I half dry the towels & then hang them up, this way they do not get stiff.
I mentioned before about shutting things down, another thing I do before going to bed is pulling the power plug for the router & the cable modem, nobody using the internet at midnight, so, might as well shut it down.
There are so many little ways to save money & after a while it adds up.
