 Save energy

buy energy saving light bulbs and holiday lights

unplug things or put them on a energy strip that you can flick the switch on and off old tvs toasters coffee makers toaster ovens and such have tiny bits of energy that still go into your energy bill same with computers shut them off when not in use

cold water for laundry and reduce dryer settings or hang laundry out put towels to block cold air under doors if feel drafts if cant afford weathering then use cheep plastic to insulate drafts from windows plastic on screen  doors help with your regular door insulation

Check for energy tax breaks
If you buy a new energy efficient furnace, boiler or water heater you'll save on your energy bills and your taxes. Shop
for products with an "Energystar" logo. They use 10-50 percent less energy than standard models. Here's how much you'll
save with Uncle Sam: Furnace/boiler: $150; water heater: $300; storm windows: up to $200; storm doors: up to $500; new
insulation: up to $500 (source: www.energystar.gov).

Use an electric blanket
It's much less expensive than heating your bedroom to a toasty temperature.

clean your heating systems dirty ones don't run as well and use more energy

turn down water heaters

have computer thermos stats so can set lower at night or when you are gone so you wont forget.

watch for deals on previous sites listed like slick deals and sites like ebay for solar charges phone and ipod chargers really will save money also watch those bigger chargers for lap tops and such the bigger of coarse the better its hard to find good deals but its worth you time to keep checking you could save like 600. a year doing all these things which costs almost nothing

again watch for solar items Craig's list is anther place to find deals.
