Be sure to check in with Biblical Womanhood for other Frugal Friday posts.
I came across a great website- SmartPower and wanted to share some of the tips they suggest for saving money on your energy bill.
~Put all electronic devices on a power strip that you turn off at night. If you are consistent with turning it off (and unplugging other things that are not in use) SmartPower says you can expect to save up to $175/year!
~Wait until you have a full load of laundry and make the most of the same amount of hot water and electricity that is used for any load (I do have to tell you I lauged out loud at this- what mom doesn't always have a full load of laundry waiting for her?) In addition, switching to cold water detergents can reduce water heating costs. Savings= up to $100/year
~Take a shorter shower (this is also good for your skin in the winter time- 10 minutes max is recommended to avoid drying out your skin). SmartPower recommends setting a timer so you know when you need to get out.
What are you doing to save money on your power bill? Please share your tips with us in the comments.
