One way you can cut down on your water bill is to reuse the water you boil spaghetti and other vegetables in. I do this with broccoli when I steam it. Once the water has cooled I water my plants with it. They get the extra nutrients from the broccoli! Great tips!

They don't work with those, unless you pay for the rare, really expensive dimmable CFL's. And yes, you can find those flame-style bulbs, we have them here in our house. Sometimes you just have to look a little harder for them. FamilyMan – yes, they can be used in any socket except dimming ones. They don’t work with those, unless you pay for the rare, really expensive dimmable CFL’s. And yes, you can find those flame-style bulbs, we have them here in our house.

A couple of questions: 1) Can CFLs be used in every normal household lighting situation? Lights that get switched on and off frequently? 2) I have a couple of ceiling fixtures that use half-a-dozen, small based, "flame" shaped light bulbs. Are there any CFL options for these light fixtures? My wife likes them, and we won't be changing the fixtures any time soon. Thanks!

I live alone in a studio apartment and decided to try cutting my bill. The only things I leave plugged in all the time are my fridge and stove, my alarm clock, my modem and a power strip I use for my cell phone, computer, and bluetooth headset chargers. (The strip stays switched off unless something is charging.) Everything else gets unplugged unless I am actively using it (yes, even the tv). When I went on vacation for two weeks, I even unplugged the alarm clock and power strip. I just got my newest electric bill and it went down from $62.03 to $19.27!! The most amazing part -- I currently have no CFLs in my house. (I just bought one and am getting ready to install it.) With CFLs I can probably save another $10. I have seen the light!! (And then I switched it off and opened the blinds. ;-) I just had a great experience with keeping an eye on your electric use. I live alone in a studio apartment and decided to try cutting my bill.
