ok this may not be very interesting to my *ahem* 5 faithful readers... but i do feel like it is worth sharing. we had been reporting what we are doing to save money, so a few months ago we switch our power bill to the "time of usage" plan (to recap... it is basically that you have 2 rates for energy an "on peak" time and a "off peak" time... right now off peak is from 9pm-10am and all weekend.). on our old bill we were on the balanced bill plan which (supposedly) took an average of our usage from 2 years and then charged us that every month. on that plan we paid $125 each month. now that we have switched plans i was fully expecting the summer months to be super expensive. i mean if our average was $125 and we only paid $75 during the spring then it would reason (stay with me here) that our summer bill would be somewhere in the range of $175... we got our first bill for the month of june, a really hot june, we ran the air a lot! and it was... $122! so our average on the old plan was more expensive than one of the most expensive months on the new plan. ok if you are still reading then i give you credit and you must really care about saving money! so i share all of this to say... switch to the time of usage plan (if you have not already done so). ok that is it! thanks for reading!!
