So I pulled my electric range out from the wall, unplugged it, and
disconnected the clock. (Only do this if you know what you are doing.)

So now you can't use the oven timer, right?

Right I can't use the oven timer. BUT I am no Julia Child! I have burned boiled chicken. In other words I would never
use an oven timer nor would I ever use the clock on a range.

It saves **** all.

By the way my electric bill last month was $32. This is because of doing many little things like the above,

Nope.

buying new Energy Star appliances (use less energy),

Thats the real reason your bill dropped significantly, and that
was nothing like a little thing, and wasnt cheap to do either.

use compact fluorescent light bulbs everywhere, use woodstove for heating,

Thats nothing like a little thing either.

have beefed up insulation on house, installed Energy Star windows,

Or those in spades.

and turn off power to electronic things when not in use (with power strip).

That saved you **** all and using switch mode wall warts is a MUCH more practical
approach because you dont have to fart around turning stuff off all the time.
