So, you have seen how much your Meralco Bill is. And you’re done cursing and hoping for miracles. Now, let’s be more logicl and think of something that we can do to lower our Meralco/ electricity bill.

On using rice cooker: When you are using a rice cooker to cook your rice, here is what you can do to lower the time that it is plugged and consuming electricity. As you know, you have to wash the rice for 2x, after the second wash, just leave the water on it for about 10 minutes. Then drain it and add hot water (from your thermos) and cook it in your rice cooker.

On using your refrigerator, you can try making ice at night. On the morning, bring out a large pitcher or water container and put the ice you made the night before. In this case, you will not be opening your ref often for cold water.

On using your air conditioner, er.. I cannot suggest anything on this field as I have four kids who cannot bear heat. You can try turning it off at 2 in the morning and just use fan.

And lastly and one of the most important tip to lower electricity consumption.. UNPLUG YOUR APPLIANCES such as TV, electric fan, computer when they are not in use.

Now, wait till next month as I have heard from the news that the REAL increase on our electric bill will reflect on our April consumption bill.

Am I flooding you already? yay! I wanna increase my chance on winning on Bambie’s contest.

And the winner of $5 as the best review is Zoan. Below is the copy of her review for At Home Here:

The home is where the heart is. Where is your home? A house is not a home.

At home here is another blogs maintained by Pehpot. This blog site is all about “Home”. And you can easily identify the categories and it’s not hard to find the things you need to know. If you want to know how to organize your things you can check out Pehpot’s guides in “Organizing” category. I am an organizing freak; yeah I admit it I surely am. I don’t know if I am OC like Pehpot but sometimes I just can’t take it anymore. Messes my son make, sometimes I want to put all his toy cars in one box and the blocks into another in order to keep the room clean and organized. And I got an idea from Pehpot to buy big boxes like she got in here. Maybe it’s easier to clean if you do have boxes that’s big and can store many toys.

And like Pehpot I also have mosquito killer that shaped like a racket. It is her first purchase for the year but my mom bought it 6 months ago. My son is asthmatic and my mom bought him a nebulizer and Pehpot recommends every home with kids to buy one too.

For housewives or housebands or housekeepers out there, check out Pehpot’s At Home Here site and you’ll find it amazing.

Thanks Zoan for the very warm review. As usual just comment here your paypal id here.
