We also installed outside lights that have sensors that cut on when it gets dark but do stay on as long as it is dark so that is all night long. I have a feeling this is costing us greatly but my husband works late late nights and it is just my daughter and I and I feel it is a saftey issue does anyone have a suggest that is lower cost to use and maybe just a lower cost bulb that we could use. We tried the flouscent bulbs but they do not work. Any suggestions would be appeciated.

It is called "phantom" electricty. (Ex. Unplug your applicances and cell phone charger when not in use.) I found out that unplugging things that are not in use does save on the electric bill.

I tried to use a low flow shower head and I could never get my hair clean. I ended up in the shower for at least twice as long which of course messed up the whole "saving water" idea. Oh well at least I tried. I really like the motion detector thing. Do animals set it off? With my luck the dog would go in the babies room at 2 in the morning and wake up the baby! hehe.
