Through the years,  I have had occasion to be obsessed with our utility bill.   At times,  even with budget billing,  the amount due was a difficult amount to come up with.   I had to devise ways to cut back our usage,  so I would monitor the meter to see what was causing our bill to be so high.    I even found a pamphlet that helped me out.

Now, Rhonda,  at Down-to-Earth,  is offering a challenge,  and a timely one.   I know that our electric usage is still higher than it should be.    We have a little more money to tackle the bills than we had in earlier years,  but that could change at any time.   And from my experience in previous years,  I know that with a little dedication,  we can lower our usage substantially.     For the good of the earth,  and the good of our financial state,  we are going to take up the challenge,  and see how we can make a difference.

Rhonda is going to post the results when everyone has reported in.   It will be interesting to see how we measure up.   Join in if you’d like.

Where did you get the pamphlet from, Jan?

Jan, I’ve had the pamphlet for several years. I picked it up at our electricity provider. It doesn’t list computers or monitors so you can tell it’s a few years old. Guess I should stop in and get a new one!
