I so love this! I am a fanatic about unplugging electronics while not in use. The one issue I have is my washer and dryer… cause I cannot reach them! It pains me, lol!
I wish more people realized how MUCH electricity ALL appliances (even the coffee maker) drain even when they are turned off.
Good post!

I bought 4 Fantastic this week, too for 25c each! Like the cheap cleaning supplies!!
I had a frustrating thing happen at Walgreens today. I wonder if you or any readers have any experience w/ this. I wanted to buy Cutter Insect Repellent on clearance for $3.85 and use a $2 off any Cutter product Q. The coupon beeped, and the cashier and the manager both said there wasn’t any way they could accept the coupon if the machine beeps.

I agree that unplugging things will lower your bill and some things make sense (like the microwave because it has a digital clock) but why the washer & dryer? Do they really use electricity when they aren't in use?

HI Proverb's Wife,
You mentioned on a comment on my blog about looking for a sale on trash bags. I just thought I'd mention that the Rite-Aid stores around here have some size boxes of Hefty trash bags clearanced at 50% off. I know they are kind of high at reg. price but with half off and the Hefty coupons out there you might find a deal. I picked up some tall kitchen trash bags yesterday at a Rite-Aid here for a good stocking up price w/the sale & coupons. Just thought this might help.
