    Default I cut my city bill down by $20

    Okay, just had to share this someone!! I got the mail today and just put it on the counter to look at later, we after supper, I was flipping through it and came to our city bill (this bill includes: water, electricty, sewage, and garbage), it had gone down $20, I started flipping out!! Dh thought we had won the lottery, then after he found out why I was so happy he understood, that is an extra $20, that is going into the savings account this month!!!

    I am so excited, I have now set a goal to get it down another $10, in the next two months!!!

    Thanks, I just wanted to share with someone!!

    Thats great. Ours went up and we only have water,sewage,trash. They seem to raise it every 2 years.
