Everytime my parents get their utility bills the monthly price increases. Sometimes we have to sell things in our house to make sure the utility bills get paid. Lately, I have been thinking of ways to save money on utility bills and I would like to share them with you.
I would like to talk with you first about how to save money on your electricity bill. In my opinion this utility bill is a home owners worst enemy which is why I want to share with you ways to decrease your monthly electric bill.
Turn off all your lights and appliances that are not being used. You are wasting money if your leaving things on like your tv if your not even using it. Did you know that your tv is the biggest electricity waster in the world. So before you decide to go to sleep or outside cut your tv off. If you start doing this you'll be surprised how quickly your electric bill decreases
Buy energy efficient devices. When going to the store ask for energy efficient devices. These devices are designed to use less electricity and will save you a great deal of money.
Purchase lower wattage bulbs. I recommend buying energy plus light bulbs.
Install ceiling fans throughout the house this is alot cheaper then putting on the ac and will save you alot of money.
Save Money On Your Water Bill
-----
Take quick showers and avoid taking baths. When taking baths people usually use more water then needed.
When you are brushing your teeth or shaving turn off the the faucet until it is necessary to turn it back on.
Did you know that if your faucets and spigots are leaking it costs you money? If you have a leak you should get it fixed as soon as possible. Get your leak fixed and you will be happy with the result. Your water bill will be alot cheaper.
Save Money On Your Gas Bill

Wear weather appropriate clothing during the winter time. Start wearing clothes like sweaters and pants. Also you should buy thick sheets to keep you warm at night. You'll find that you wont need to turn the heat up as high. The higher the heat the more it costs so you would be saving money.
Have a fireplace? Use your fireplace instead of your central heating unit. wood is alot cheaper then gas.
Cut your stove off a few minutes early before your food is ready. The residual heat will finish cooking whatever you have in the stove.
Lower your water heater to 120 degress. You really dont need water heated to 180 degress. Trust me on this it will help you decrease your monthly gas bill and save you some money.
