Electric Bill Update

I posted here about our electric bill concern and how we could minimize our electric consumption.  I found out that the new electric meter has nothing to do with our electric bill.  Nananahimik siya. Wala siyang kasalanan! Haha. Yes. The blame should be put on us, the “feeling rich” kids.  

I enumerated  the things that we should do to lower our electricity usage.  We’ve been doing Numbers 1 and 3.  As per suggestion of Jill of Frugalhoney, we’ve stopped using the hot and cold setting of our water dispenser.   And after a month….Tadaaaaa…..

Our electric bill was reduced by P1,000.  Yey!  We could have reduced the bill  further if we had just stuck to the plan of decreasing our AC usage.   Anyway, at least we've become more inspired to do Numbers 2 and 4.   We bought two electric fans for the living area and master’s bedroom so, we could limit our AC usage.   Last night, we set the AC timer to 3 hours and turned on the fan.   Though our windows were closed, our room was surprisingly not that warm.  It was not warm at all. Thanks to our brand new electric fan! Haha.      However, my baby complained. She was uneasy.    So, before she throws a fit, I turned on the AC.  Ngek!  Pano ba naman she was using a long sleeved onesie and  a pair of pajamas.  Tonight, I will let her  wear a short sleeved onesie.    I think she will get used to a  non-ac room very soon.    By the way, I  bought  sandos for my baby’s  pambahay. They’re not as cute as  Carters onesies, but they’re very presko, apt for Philippine weather.

I am very mindful with our expenses nowadays. The prices of commodities are insanely high that my income cannot keep up with them anymore.  Since I have no concrete plan on how to increase my cash inflow, the least I could do is to do good on my cash outflow.   Next time, I will blog about our food expenses and meal plans.
