I saved over 100 dollars from Feb to March with the following changes:
1) Reduced thermostat by 10 degrees throughout the day. Used a heating pad on my feet and night and bundled up
2) Washed clothes in cold water and hang dry
3) Unplugged unused appliances and chargers
4) Lowered heat setting on dishwasher, turned off the dry function, and used the light wash cycle instead of the sanitize cycle
5) Open more blinds and curtains during the day for natural light vs using lights
6) Use my air fryer and instant pot more than using my range
This was the first month that I implemented all of these changes and was shocked and very happy by how much I saved! I live in Michigan with my 3 kids where it’s been freezing cold lately, so happy with the current bill for our family!
