My Saving Money Initiatives
I read a lot of blogs and search the internet for articles on saving money and always wonder if the owners of the websites or blog writers are just copying articles or doing what they say. Since starting the Save Money Blog I have taken up myself to follow my own advice and articles.
I have replaced all of the most used bulbs in the house with the new Compact Flourescent Lights. There are a few bulbs here and there that we rarely use so I haven't replaced those. In every room or the outside ligths, they now hace CFL's in theme.
If I am not playing my XBox360 or Wii, it is unplugged. I had it plugged in for awhile yesterday and could not believe how hot the cord was. What a waste of energy. The same goes with using my computers energy saving features.
Today we went out and replaced our ancient window air conditioner with a new model. Although not 100% engery efficient the label on it said it was about half way leaning towards be better than worse. It has lots of new features like an engery saving mode and a timer etc. Our old one looks like a tank compared to it.
