Tesla - Tips for Saving Money Around the House
Keep the fridge and freezer partially full. A completely or near empty refrigerator or freezer means there is a greater volume of air that is being cooled which results in more energy being used at greater cost. One caveat, though, be sure you don't have too much crowding, let alone blocking of the vents, as this would also make the compressor work harder with resulting higher energy cost and wear and tear on the unit itself.

Try Local First

 Take a Spring Break...Local
As Spring and Spring Break approach...and time nor budget allows for an extravagant vacation to some sunny beach...take heart there are many great local opportunities.
- The local bowling alley - they, like all businesses, were impacted by the severe storms this winter - make a date and do a little Cosmic Bowling.
- How about a movie - we have some great local independent movie theaters. Give one a try...the Mt. Hood Theater on Powell is worth the price of admission just to admire the architecture.
