My power bill is down, way down...
This months power bill was 76.00, down from 120 the previous month. I've been unplugging a few things when I leave on Monday and I've just started to turn off the hot water tank when I leave too, just to see what a difference it will make. I'm excited about the reduction in this bill.
I also even went out to a fund raiser last night, the proceeds are going to a local shelter for youth, and there was a lot of people there. I spent 5.00 there. I also spent 102.00 for the dog's kennel fees, and he has a free night the next time he goes ( I had a coupon and she forgot to take it off, so she'll do it next time). My car ended up costing 99.00, and I received 2 free stainless thermos worth 30.00 for getting my car winterized. I also spent 35.00 on my bad habit.
For November's challenge, I'm going to give up buying coffee from Tim's except on Wednesdays. That should save me about 30.00. I'll bring my coffee with me to work and I'll donate the money to a Charity on December 1st.
This morning, I'm going to get pampered, then I'm helping a friend move her mother's belongings from her apartment to my friends home. Her mom is now in palliative care, and most likely will not be here to see Christmas.
I'm still not sure what tonight's plans are, but I'm up for just getting out for a few hours. I'm going to pack up some of DD's things that are sitting on a table in the basement and knock that task off my list.
I;m already for the trick or treaters tomorrow night, and I plan on lighting the fire pit and sitting outside for the evening, as I can keep the dog with me, and no fear or him bolting on me, when the door is opened.

We have our water heater on a timer (installed by an electrician) and that definitely helps with our bill.
Unfortunately because my MIL is home all day, electricity is getting used in one form or another all day long. Still there must be an area I can cut back on.
I probably could do a lot better on unplugging things. It's amazing how much power leaching there is simply by living things plugged in even if they are turned off.
We went to Tim's today for a cafe mocha my favorite.I have gift cards that DH receives at Christmas which pretty well last us to Christmas. We don't go very often, but it is pricey, so it will be another way for you to save. The charity benefits also. Great idea!
Enjoy you Halloween and fire in the pit tomorrow evening, a cold front is moving in.
Enjoy Halloween and the fire pit...it's going to be a cold one here, so the fire pit is a perfect plan! :)!
