We don’t have television at all, either, and this saves us even more money. In fact, Dave Ramsey says that studies indicate those who do have television spend more money each year buying advertised products than those who don’t watch it, so you save money twice over, once on your cable bill and once again by not being subjected to thousands of ads.

I have tried to get my family to unplug the electronics, but they don’t believe that the trouble is worth it. Is there a chart somewhere showing how much electricity that saves?

I’m going to have to disagree with the Kool-aid tip, as well. it might be cheap, but it’s as high in sugar as anything else, and sugar-free is just full of chemicals. We drink water and milk. Juice is only served a couple of times a month (usually when someone is sick and needs calories without food).

Some great tips, though!
