What tricks have you guys used to lower your utility bills e.g?
My family cut out cable TV. We stuck an antenna in the window and use broadcast TV and internet video. We dropped our landline entirely when we realized our cellphones got all the incoming calls we wanted and the landline just got junk calls. I called my cable provider and said I wanted to lower my rate to their advertised introductory rate. They refused. I said OK, cancel my subscription. They hemmed and hawwed. We negotiated a lower rate than I had been paying and raised my broadband speed. This all happened several years ago now. At the time, I lowered by payments by $35/month on the landline, and $65/month on the cable TV.
