    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site.

$70 year on " idle " electric appliances and may double or even triple that depending on how many electric sleep modes of appliances you have.

Here are the VAMPIRES :

night lites
emergency lights
plug in air fresheners
stoves
ovens
clocks
TVs
VCR
CD player
cordless phones
micro waves
COMPUTERS
computer routers
air conditioners
timer fans
adding machines/calculators
sound systems
Fax machines
scanners
printers
UTH for reptiles
programmable electronics
low wattage out door lights/lamps
security lights
security cameras

This is the ones that I could think of. The cost of these appliances of the nation is around $ 3 billion a year not to mention the impact on whatever they eliminate out environment or other wise..........
 
I have three items on that list and one of them is only plugged in during winter, good thing I do not have any more, my electric bill is high enough.

that list is like my personal nightmare, I think they've been to our house.
The one I couldn't cope without the most?....the airwick plug in oil air freshener thingies in lavender fields. OMG im addicted.
