Last electric bill was through the roof. I can't imagine what next month's holds in store. Arghhh...

Anyone else hit hard? I'm starting to think budget billing's the way to go.

my last electric bill was 9c

Explain.

It might be cheaper if you didn't have a tv in every room including the john.

For the record, LEROY, the monitor in our closet is only a computer monitor, not a TV. After researching the electric sucking culprits, the worst offenders are the AC and the fridge. That's where I think we're not helping ourselves, the two fridges, freezer, and Guinness kegerator.

Maybe, but that Guinness kegerator is a thing of beauty and worth every penny.

I really, really, really don't want to see our next bill...since we've had a few 100 degree days, the ACs have been working OT. I did follow the advice of the "experts" and kicked our AC up to 78 (on 100+ degree days)....wow, 78 does not feel cool at all.

September can't get here quick enough!

We always keep our AC at 78-82...once you get used to it, you get used to it.

...but the heat never bothers me that much. I was out in the yard yesterday, during peak hours, mowing and gardening.

I actually adjusted to 78....but my hubby and the dog didn't! I still look forward to September....

Freak. I guess you've got to grow up here, but I don't think I'll ever get used to the kind of oppressive heat in StL.
