Watching the electric bill August 1, 2006
Posted by irishmadness in Frugal living.trackback
We’re under a severe heat warning until 6 p.m. Thursday around here, so I might be breaking my “avoid AC” rule at home - for health reasons. I’m waiting to see what it’s like when I get home tonight. Fortunately, I’m on an earlier work schedule this week, so I’m spending the hottest hours in AC at the office. On the flip side, I get out mid-evening instead of close to midnight, which means my apartment won’t have as much time to cool off. We shall see…
My electric bill for July was almost $150…and I don’t keep my house that cold. Definitely time to invest in front window shutters.
And this is why I’m glad to be on the monthly budget payment for both gas and electricity. I have consistent bills year round and know what to expect. And, if there’s a shortfall at the end, it’ll be easier to come up with it then — post income tax refund — than huge amounts in the summer.
