One Power Strip for all Chargers - July 2018

​We are saving a fortune (well around $15 a month) simply by changing the way we store our phone and tablet chargers. We now have one power saver power board, plugged into a power point next to a lamp table so we can all easily access it. All the chargers (why do they all have to be different?) are plugged into the board, but it's only turned on when a phone or tablet needs to be charged. As soon as it's fully charged, it's removed and the power board is switched off. Now we don't need to search for chargers, and we have eliminated phantom power use for five devices. The difference in our power bill for the quarter may not seem much, but $15 is better in our bank account than the power company's.
