I have a little Dave that sits on my shoulder when I’m at the grocery store. I have conversations with him when I try to justify a splurge. :0)
I’m so cheap that I remove the battery from my little radio whenever it is not in use....
Another tip is that I have saved a lot on electricity bills by unplugging everything that is not in use and does not need to continue to get electrical flow. I unplug the microwave, extra tv, coffee pot, washer dryer, etc. Heck, I even unplug my alarm clock on the weekends.
I found that by eliminating my vampires, I was able to reduce my kwh usage by 50%!
