Have you ever wondered why is your electric so high? well most people leave appliance and such plugged in well not in use. I have saved hundreds of dollars on electric just by turning off things well not in use. I know some of you will say, but Linda I do turn off the lights! Well ladies and gentlemen there is more you can do. I use power cords (surge protectors) on just about everything that way I can turn it off. For example in the living room I have the TV, VCR, CABLE BOX, LAMP plugged into one strip, so when I leave or not using any of those items I shut off the strip, in the kitchen I have the STOVE, MICROWAVE, COFFEEPOT on one strip and when not in use the strip is off. When I leave my house the only two items plugged in and running are the refrigarator and phone by doing this I save money because the electric is not flowing through the lines wasting. Try this for at least three months straight and you will see a big difference in your bill.
