I would be interested in seeing your list of 50 or 100 items and
especially interested in seeing how much electricity they use.

I could do without electricity completely- except that I like the
convenience. I suspect the electricity your appliances are using
is providing some sort of convenience. If you'd rather use less
electricity and don't care about the convenience, then unplug them- or
put a switch on the plugs.
