Money Saving Tips
Refrigerators: Invest in a Thermometer

  • To save on your electric bill check out the temperature of your refrigerator and freezer. You may have to invest in a $2 thermometer for each, but they are well worth it. Your refrigerator should be set between 38 and 40 degrees fahrenheit. Your freezer should be between 0 and 5 degrees fahrenheit. If these are any lower you are wasting electricity and throwing money out the window!
