      Nearly all electronic devices use electricity when they are plugged in. This includes TVs, Computers, Cable boxes, VCRs, anything with a clock and your chargers for laptop, cell phone, etc.

        I'm not single and I do that. If you want to save money, that's what you do. Why do you want to make the thieving electricity companies rich.

          I got ya beat, I know a woman (Chinese) that does the same thing, her bill was 18.00.. I saw it last week and commented on it. She also has her cellphone down to 26 bucks per month, no data or texting, she had a landline but dumped it because at 7.95 per month it was too much, she could receive calls anytime but her outgoing was metered. She has a TV but no service, she is able to pick up 4 stations. And to top it, she has money to burn! She keeps most of her money in a sack, she uses the bank but only keeps enough money there for bills.

            This is what I mean Vinny about being eccentric. I'm sure she does other things that U&I would call stupid as well to save a nickel.

            She drives me crazy, she will spend two hours going through the sunday paper cutting coupons, she will go buy things she doesn't need because she has a coupon for it. makes no sense! One night after work we decided to stop off at a restaurant, she looked forever in her purse-- we had to go to her home so she could get the coupon, I said don't worry about it, i will pay, she got pissed.. LOL

                  Well maybe she is eccentric also. She might have quite of bit of money in the bank, she could be a miser, who knows?
