It's Hot!

So, this Summer has been pretty darn hot and our electric bill is the proof. Since our last bill, we've been looking for ways to cut costs while keeping cool.

A few things we've been doing, (which we should have been doing all along) is turning off our power strips that hold our tv, game consoles, computer, monitor and more. Every night, right before bed, those puppies get switched off. We also have our router and modem on a timer that shuts them off at midnight. We unplugged our microwave, since it never gets used, and keep all of the curtains closed to keep the heat out.

I read that a good thing to do is insulate your garage door, so we might save up to do that. I might even break out the trusty old tin foil to cover our windows :)


What do you do to keep cool when it's scorching outside?
