Cheapskater Kristy turned the responsibility for her family's electricity use over to the kids and is saving $130 per quarter.
"My electricity bill every quarter was rising and it didn't help there was a price rise for electricity! I walked around the house with my two children, aged 7 and 4 years and asked them how many things they could find to turn off. It was amazing the little things we found that I didn't think of. My eldest found the washing machine, so now its only turned on for as long as it takes to wash a load of clothes, then its off at the wall. The youngest pointed out the printer and the speakers for the computer. With a little training the kids now make sure that all points that are not needed (except the fridge and freezer) are turned off whenever possible. Just by looking at the little things I saved $130 last quarter on my electricity bill. Good luck."
