I like to replace all my cheap mechanical timers with a digital unit. Ideally I'd like a unit with multiple outlets to control different devices on different schedules, but cost is an issue.

Thought you guys would know?
 
lowes or home depot sell a $20 digital timer that handle up to 1800 watts and is grounded. it also has 99 different programs. i only use three of the programs to cut back the hours of light during the winter.
 
not a big fan of home depot but they had them cheaper than anyone else. here is the $20 timer

Watch out though-some of these have multiple outlets, but can't be set separately. IOW, all the outles come on or go off at the same time. The "multiple setting" advertising is sometimes misleading, as they can have many on/off periods, but the outlets are not independant of each other. hth
