    sdduuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude. Yeah, I really want to waste my time with a bs posting about saving money on electrical bills. Why don’t you take the snapshot of my electical usage, call SDG&E and ask them if the KwH’s I listed match up with the dollar amounts I posted. That’ll shut you up quickly.

    on another note, i agree worrying about lightbulbs and phone chargers isn’t going to make much of an impact when there are 3 fridges, 2 dehumidifiers, and 2 room AC/Heaters in use.

    Perhaps this “experiment” will just prove to me that I just need to “live with it”. At the least I’ll know that the annoying task of turning off all lights, unplugging random things, etc isn’t worth the hassle for the amount of money it actually saves me.

    Like you’ve all said, it isn’t an apartment. I’ll report back at bill time.

    replacing your light bulbs (on non dimming switches) is def. worthwhile. Every little bit helps. I hate big fluorescent light bulbs but I like the little ones as long as they aren’t in a chandelier.

    Sounds like it is time to get your wife an electric blanket or something.. I think that you should concentrate on getting your wine down (have mrs. do it she’ll feel warmer) so you can get one of the fridges off too

    does she have a job? how can she not care about the utility bill and make sacrifices?

    [quote=sdduuuude]Is this thread for real? Has anyone offically called “BS” on it ?

    You turned off your DVRs and were worried about them getting deactivated ?

    Well, if they are off, who cares if they are deactivated ? They can’t really record much if they are off, now, can they ?[/quote]

    My wife will make sacrifices, but if the DVR was deactivated or the power was off and it didn’t tape desp. housewives, lost or biggest loser, uh.. things would get ugly

    OK. OK. No worries. It’s just a funny thread, that’s all. Good for you for putting it out there.

    Central gas heater instead of electric room units is gonna help alot. Looking forward to the follow-up !
