Tip: Lowering The Electric Bill

This post was featured at Money Saving Mom and bears repeating.

"For a long time, I’ve been on my kids to turn the lights off, unplug things we’re not using, close the doors, take shorter showers, etc. They were tired of hearing it and weren’t listening.

That money would go towards a party, be it candy, ice cream, cake, pizza, chips, whatever they could buy with that money. (more here)"
