TURN OFF YOUR COMPUTER: Although you may not know, your computer uses 300 watts when it's still turned on, even when the monitor is off. If completely powering it down is not a viable option for you, adjust your settings so that your screen saver puts your computer to sleep when it's not in use. You can resume using it quickly from the sleep mode
CHANGE YOUR LIGHT BULBS: Switching to florescent light bulbs can save up to 25 percent of your electricity. Plus, florescent bulbs last for years, and are more durable than regular light bulbs. While they are more expensive, they will save you money in the future.
USE CEILING FANS: In the summertime, or even in the winter, when you're hot... use the ceiling fans. They will help more than adjusting the air conditioner, which can be very expensive to run and more expensive once you change its settings.
GET RID OF YOUR LAND LINE: Unless you use your home as an office, or need a land line to set up your fax or credit card system, get rid of your phone. Cell phones are becoming people's land lines today. The land plans are usually pretty expensive, and if you can do without it, you can save a lot of money.
REDUCE CABLE TELEVISION: Are there channels that you pay for that you don't watch? Even if you think you can't live without certain television shows, cutting down on cable packages can save money, even $50 or $100 a month. Maybe you can rid of cable all together?!
