Hey y’all!
I just wanted to share with you a quick, money saving idea for the new year.
A few weeks ago The Hubs and I received a post card in the mail from our power company offering to send us a free box full of energy saving goodies. Well, I love the word free so I told him to jump at the chance!
Here’s what we got:
2 – 100 watt GE Energy Smart light bulbs
4 – 60 watt GE Energy Smart light bulbs
4 – Kitchen/bath faucet aerators
4 – Kitchen/bath faucet aerator adaptors
1 – energy efficient shower head
1 – CyberPower Power Saving Surge Protector plug in strip
The kit also came with a booklet of tips to energy proof your home and some ways to save on your power and water bills. We’re renters right now, so really the only stuff we can use is the light bulbs, but hope to be in our own home this year so this kit is going to help us out a lot!
This kit came from Potomac Edison, but I know that my best friend in Florida also received one from her power company. And while I don’t know the exact savings I got by getting this all for free, I can tell you those power strips start at $18.00 and I’ve bought energy efficient bulbs before and they aren’t cheap!
It might be worth it to contact your power company to see if a similar kit is available to you!
