As I previously posted, the
TOTAL annual electric usage of a new 23 cft refrigerator, with ice and
water at the door is around $95. And that's here in NJ, with
electricity around 17c KWH. So, where is the big savings to be had?


My last electric bill for one month was $26!

10 years ago my electric bill was $150 a month.

How did I reduce my electric bill? I know how to add!

There was not any one thing which greatly reduced my electric bill. Rather
*many* things combined which ADD up to that savings.

And this is something people don't understand these days. That small things
add up. Same with spending. Buy a soda pop at a store once a day for $1 and
they say that is just a dollar. (It is actually $365 a year!)

But I assure you large billion dollar corporations know how to add. The guys
who get the big bucks there know how to search for a penny to be saved per
transaction. If the corporation has 300 retail outlets and each retail
outlet has 5,000 transactions per day, and they are saving a penny per
transaction, that is $50 per store per day!

$15,000 for all 300 stores per day!
$5,475,000 per year!
(All from saving a penny!)

It adds up... Learn how to add, you will save quite a bit!



My city sells electricity. The problem with it is the kilowatt hours
costs $80 but the total bill is over $150. Over time, the city
decided to include water usage in the bill. Then based on the water
usage you got a sewer charge added, about double that of the water
bill (I know you can water the lawn and not use the sewer, but that
doesn't count). Last year they decided in lew of higher property
taxes they added the garbage collection to the bill, whether you put
out garbage or not. Having one bill is convenient, but these local
politicians are thinking all day long how to add another charge. Now
can anyone explain my land-line phone bill?
