Saving on Bills

1- Find ways to insulate your home or apartment. If you live in a cold area, you might be paying a lot more money for heating than you really have to.
A- A cheap, easy way to better insulate your home is to get thick curtains which can be closed in order to keep heat in your home overnight. Caulking gaps in windows and placing a blanket at the base of a door can also save you money by keeping cold air out and warm air in.
2- Reduce how much you use your appliances.
A- Don’t leave refrigerator doors open while you decide what to cook for dinner. Don’t use the big stove burner when you really need the small one. Don’t run your dishwasher just to wash 6 plates.
3- Limit the time you spend using electronics.
A- You can save money by not doing more than one of these activities at one time! For example, you don’t need to be “watching” TV while you play a computer game.
4- Unplug electronics when you're not using them.
5- Become energy independent. Of course, you can say goodbye to energy bills altogether if you make some lifestyle adjustments and get your own source of electricity! Solar panels, for example, are cheaper than they’ve ever been.
