Saving money is habit-forming
Get into the money-saving swing of things with these easy energy-saving tricks.
Cut costs with curtains.
Be solar-savvy and open your curtains and blinds on winter mornings and keep them closed on hot summer days.
Take a cold … wash.
Using COLD water for washing can cut a load’s energy use in half, plus it works better on most stains.
Flip the switch.
The best way to save on electricity? Don’t use it! Get in the habit of turning lights off when you leave a room.
Dish out savings.
Run full dishwasher loads, avoid special cycles, and air dry or towel dry your dishes when the cycle ends.
Turn the taps.
Modern dishwashers are more efficient than hand-washing but when you’re scrubbing pots, keep the water off until you rinse.
Take your temp and set it.
Every degree you set your thermostat lower in the winter (or higher in the summer) saves about 3% on heating & cooling costs.
