can anyone give me some tips on how to save money like things i can do in my house to save money and energy?
Turn off all electrical devices when they are not in use – that’s the television, the video, the DVD player, the stereo, the computer, and so on.
Turn down the thermostat a little – you’ll survive even if you need to wear slighter warmer clothing.
Insulate your home – lots of heat is lost through the roof and walls.
Use less hot water – for instance, have a shower rather than bath, install a low flow showerhead, and wash clothes in cold or warm water.
Replace a regular incandescent light bulb with a compact fluorescent light bulb (CFL) – CFLs use 60% less energy than a regular bulb.
Use a clothes line rather than a tumble dryer – it might take a little longer, but it’s kinder to the environment.
Recycle more – paper, glass, tins, vegetable waste, garden cuttings can all be recycled.
Avoid products with a lot of packing – you’ll only throw it away.
Keep your tyres properly inflated – proper inflation can improve petrol mileage by more than 3%.
Drive less – walk, cycle or use public transport when you can.
Fly less – use the train when you can.
Try to travel less – for instance, use teleconferencing in your work.
this will save alot of ur money on ur bills

1.Get energy efficient light bulbs
2.Use cold water only for laundry. If you have stains, add a cold soak cycle
3. Take shorter hot showers
4. Replace old appliances. Old appliances eat energy like crazy. My bill went down $200 by getting rid of an old washing machine and very old oven along with doing these other tips I mention.
5. Dry laundry outside if possible
6. Many power companies offer a free service to check your home for energy efficiency..look into that.
7. Make sure your freezer is full. Less energy is used when the freezer is packed.
