Boston Reefers are doing a group buy on 15A Kill A Watt Meters

With electric costs going up, I'm trying to find out how much "stuff" uses in my house. How much does my phone charger use when plugged in? How much do my TV, DVD/VCR & stereo use 24x7 while NOT in use? Microwave standby & other items? PC monitor & Computer when NOT in use?
If I upgrade to an LCD 19" what will the difference be?
Is it possible I am using $20-50 a month in "junk" that can be turned off?
So, who wants to go in on getting one?

$25.50 each for multiples greater then 2.
Case price drops it to $24...not a huge drop...but
Another seller will sell at $22.50 each including shipping
A bulk price for 4 cases drops it to $20 each

15a model:

Thats a cool toy. I gotta get some other stuff so its not in my budget right now. How soon are you doing this?
 
Hopefully for the March 18th meeting
I figure even non-reefers might want one of these
One guy tested & said leaving his PC, TV, stereo & VCR etc on "standby" mode used over 10$ of electricity a week/month?
I think week - because he said he would save $500 a year by shutting stuff off with a power strip

I already put a power strip on my TV, Stereo & VCR/DVD player
I shut it off every night

I'm already using PC bulbs in about every light socket in the house
 
I shut off my PC, monitor and printer every night and when not in use.
Also the TV etc. You still have to shut off the elec. to them?

Crazy.

I run PC bulbs in about half of my house right now. The rest are going soon.

My elec. bill is not that much right now so i don't pay that much attention. Maybe i should pay more attention.

i know my tank is a significant part of the bill.
 
I tried calling a couple places & the ones at the best prices are on back order
So, they are on order & they will let me know when they are shipping
Sometime in April

If anyone wants to add up until the order ships that will work
I am also ordering some extras
 
That's it, just these
I'm not starting a store or anything
I just wanted one at a decent price
Next thing I know 2 dozen people want them too
 
Hey good news!
I forget what I'm in for but I know I owe you Dave, can you please update us on the details ...?

Oh and thanks!
 
I'll post once they let me know shipping cost
I'm going to be busy testing everything in the house once they arrive
