Sunday ramblings

July 20th, 2008 at 03:03 pm

Called CVS yesterday, but there office had closed. Will try again on Monday. Went there to pick up a few things however, and was pleased to find a $5 ecb for a survey I filled out a while back, as well as another $2.50 in ecbs. I'll make sure to use these before they expire!

Today I'm heading down to dad's. I spend a few hours with him, do his grocery shopping, run some errands, and have dinner with him. No spending, other than for him.

I'm looking to continue decluttering the house. In addition to paperback swap and the others, I'll keep my eye out for anything I can pass along to my younger nieces and nephews, sell on ebay, etc. Not sure how much it will help financially, but it will definitely help my mental state!

I emailed the electric company to see if they had a "time of use" program. They offer it for NY residents, where your rates are super high from 9am-9pm M-F, and super low the rest of the time. It would definitely make sense if you're out of the house during the day (we are) and you can arrange your laundry, dishwashing, etc. during the cheap times. For some reason, they don't do it for NJ residents, and I didn't get a good understanding from the customer service rep as to why. My utility bills are through the roof, though, so I'm definitely trying to come up with ways to significantly reduce.

I've rambled enough. Hope everyone has a good day!

    Can you turn off your hot water heater while you are out of the house. I only turn mine on (it is electric) when i am ready to take a shower or run the dishwasher.

    They have that 'time of use' deal here where I live. I actually did research into it maybe about a month ago. Here you have to sign up for it before May for it to go into effect for that season. I signed up for it but it won't go into effect until May of next year.

    I an enrolled in the "time of day" program through my electric company. I have had for over 10 years and it is year round. I think it saves a lot of money.
