    Default Yay!! Water and electric bill went down!

    I've been really making an effort to cut these back, by shutting off lights when we're not in the room, unplugging things, etc. Also got aerators for the faucets, shut off water while brushing teeth, etc. Our water bill was usually $50, is now $34. Electric went from $100/month to only $65!! I'm sure summer rates will kick in on the next bill, but it's nice for this month! I *hate* that they raise their rates in the summer. I hang all our clothes out, have no AC but end up paying the same we do during the winter. It's not fair!

    Wow that's awesome, I was shocked my electric bill went to $55 last month, I've been trying to cut corners... it's not always easy with teenagers

    Keep up the awesome work!
