We try to save money in any way we can – from buying things that is on sale – and stock up when there is a good sale on but of course, we also make sure that we don’t buy or spend just because something is cheap. Owning your own business as well as raising a kid means only one thing – spending your money wisely – so if there is a rebate to get we get it. Now the only thing that is killing us is our power bills. There is no low cost energy here in our town – and when it comes to winter – it does suxs big time. I wished we can lower our electric bills – our entire house is electric heat – so we are quite dependent on it.
So this is what we did at home to save money, to save power bills – we had a french door put in our tv room – so that we won’t have to heat the entire kitchen and tv room when we wanted one or the other heated. We also only heat up the rooms that we are using – and at work we brought 2 infra-red heated to save on our power bills. We thought about putting in a wood stove at home but that would means we need to fork out money to put in a new chimney and of course buy the wood stove and rewire the home a little. At work, we will heat up the store for a few hours and then turn it down for the rest of the day – using only the infrared machine. If we are still cold, we have small little heaters turned up for a bit to warm us up. So there – you have it – on how we save money at home and work with our power bills. If only we had this low cost energy saving program they have in certain part of the USA – I would definitely bee the first to jump on it.
