At the beginning of November, I started a project to try to get our electric bills down - especially since during the height of summer-AC season, the bill was a whopping $350.
So I took the light bulb challenge - and changed out every bulb in the house ( except the ones in appliances) to the energy star reduced energyconsumption versions. It cost me about $40 to buy all new bulbs - and I changed out over 20 - in all the bathrooms, bedrooms, and light fixtures.
Then I unplugged the extra fridge in the garage and added a bit of weatherstripping around the back door.
End result, my electric bill is $80 less than last month, and $125 less than last year. That's about a week's worth of groceries for us - but I'll be happy to spend that money on something else.....okay, probably on a goat.
