...tips and ideas of how to reduce the cost of our electricity bills. I know Marlene has some good ones :) given all the fiasco going on there over gas and electricity right now. I think it's something that all of us would like to do though. I know ours is pretty high for where we are but with all this rain it has stayed warmer than normal for May here so that's helped. (It does NOT help however when I discover the my DH has loaded a total of 3 garmets in my seldom used clothes dryer and turned it on for a full cycle :( ...men!). My (now passed on) MIL taught me that if you were going to turn the oven on use it wisely! Last night I cooked a raost chicken and baked veg and threw in some afghans (cookies?) as well. So - ok ...today there are hardly any left *VBG* & ;-) but the point is that it got used economically right? She would be proud of me. :) (My hips are telling me something altogether else though!).

Any other ideas or things you do to save on the never ending cost of energy?
