mind I am aware that everyone’s lifestyle is different and these tips might not apply to your lifestyle or they might :) just sharing my advice and what I do to keep my bill low.
P.S speaking of lighting, I’m sorry for the low lighting in this video but when I was recording didn’t realize the sun was gonna disappear on me like that🤭 (thunderstorm rolled in) - บันเทิง

Another tip that I have learned to consume less energy at my home is to charge all my electronics at work. I know it sounds very cheap and silly but it helps!
That’s a great tip 👍🏼👍🏼
Hahahaaha that’s so cheeky but I’ll definitely do that 😂
In one of your other videos you mentioned that you only spend $50 a month on food. Can you do a video on that? I’m curious to know what kinds of foods you buy and the quantities
Tanya P I would love to see that!
Tina Marie She actually ended up addressing this in one of her other videos and said that she mostly eats lunch at work (which is free), which is how she’s able to spend less money on food.
Tanya P Right after I responded to your comment I did come across that video 👍🏾😃
OmG her accent is so cute !
Great tips! I did the same thing, changing all the bulbs in our house Oh and we started unplugging the TV at night, could NOT believe the difference in our bills.
It makes sense if that device is in stand by regime or if electricity is actually going through it (phone charger). But it makes no sense if you have a casual lamp with on/off switch.
I knew the TV was up to no good -- and more than meets the eye! (ha ha) -- I heard a theory once about how much electricity it takes to turn the light on vs to how much it takes to keep them on, say, if you're going in and out of a room, say, every few minutes. Anyone know about this?
@@bohospacechic5149 yes but according to mr. Electricity website with the cdl and led light bulbs it's not a big deal because within a few seconds you have paid for it. It used to be a few minutes with the old bulbs though esp. the higher watt ones.
Wow, I didn’t know about unplugging things. And I always have my phone charger plugged in even when I’m not charging my phone. I also didn’t realize that changing lightbulbs would make such a difference. I learned a lot - thanks for another wonderful vid! You really are so smart and I love all of your videos!
Could you please do a video on how you handle when other people make comments about your minimalist lifestyle...my family and coworkers make negative comments all the time..I love having a clear desk at work...wearing neutrals..and keeping my home clutter free..reduces anxiety and makes me happy..love your videos!
I live in Canada so in the winter season I use a lot of candles & tea lights & white Christmas lights to keep electricity low (pay per use) . I wrap myself in cosy blankets my mom knitted & sweaters.
I hardly use my oven,but when I turn it off I open the oven door & let it heat my apartment ☺
I just subscribed & love what u do ♥️
Eek. Unless they're the kind that float in water I'd be so nervous about fire safety. I could only do that if I had the floating candles, and then one main one that I would carry around with me so I can make sure nothing catches or it doesn't get knocked over by the cat or something.
What province? I'm in Ontario and if we get under $100...its a happy dance.
Jacalli if you sign up with Ontario Electricity Support.ca
You could possibly get your bill reduced like mine has!
It’s free to sign up🙂
I turn my water heater off during most of the day. It only needs to be on about an hour and you'll still have hot water all day.
Wow I had no idea.
Yall, the light bulbs and the unplugging is MAJOR KEY! My bill went from $55 to $33 in a MONTH! I also have natural lighing from my balcony and windows until it gets dark. :)
i had read that your phone charger continues to use the outlet even when your phone is not charging but never thought that lamps and other devices would as well! so good to know, very informative! thank you so much for this video!
Your very welcome 😃
My bill is $233 😩😩 will try to use these tips!
So happy for you and the growth of your channel. 🖤 I’ve been loving your minimalist style and learning new things along the way. 🖤🖤🖤
im so happy to have found your channel! so helpful and gives me such hope for my future place
Just found u about a week ago!! Love love u and your channel💗💗💗
Thank you 💕 so happy you enjoy my channel
I always turn off lights everywhere! My husband is from us and I’m from Russia, so I know it’s like to be short on money and try to save on anything 😀 I really enjoyed this video, could you do more videos like that? Subscribed also!
You are such an inspiration
I live by myself and do all of these tips but my bill is still not that low, and I'm on a good energy tariff. Great video :)
Awesome Tips for saving on energy. unplugging the charger is a great tip.
Woohoo!! I do these too and it is def a game changer!!
If you have pets though, please keep them in mind when it comes to AC 😅
🌬❄️🐶🐱
Great tips! I'm always looking for ways to save money and being energy efficient. :)
We have air & try not to use it too often. To keep our home cool, we shut all the shades and curtains where the sun is & leave the windows shut. It really helps :)
Just found your channel. The videos are awesome. You should have your own television show!
Totally gonna pass these tips on.
You are amazing! 💛💙💜
Mine was like$10 a month until I got a roommate. Now it's like$70 🙃🙃🙃 I'm very hardcore about leaving lights off lol
You live in a house or apt?
love all your tips ♡
Bright light sometimes bothers me in the evening, so I sometimes use my salt lamp or selenite lamp. And they only use a nite light bulb. My salt lamp has an adjustable dimmer on it to and I love that! EVERYTHING in my house runs on electricity. I don't watch TV. I miss long day light hours in the fall & winter. I charge my cell phone in the car when I can.
I wish I could post a meme for my face when you said you were recording on your phone. Wowwww could not tell.
Loved this! Thank you!
You should buy a portable washer and dryer. They're very small and are about $150 on Amazon. They're energy efficient and will save you more money not having to go to the laundry Mat
I so wish I could but in my lease it saids no washer or dryer hook ups :(
@@Kyraann. that sucks because really the portable ones just plug into a regular outlet. And then you could just store them in a closet, they are that compact. They're not like the conventional Washer and dryers in the laundry Mat with all the hookups. Anyway I hope whatever you decide works for you. Definitely look into them they're super cool and convenient. I really enjoy your content. Btw.
I just got my first apartment (studio)! I moved in on Monday, hopefully I can keep my electric bill low since all I have to pay is rent and the electric bill!
Did she mention modem ? I have watched her other videos, think she doesn't have internet. Unplugging the modem when not in use saves TONS !
Wowwww I wish more people think and act like you 😘
You are such an inspiration! I live in the desert and my bills are $150 or more but I’m going to follow your advice. It’s 110 in the summer and I’m going to start turning off my power strips. I couldn’t live without my various clothes and shoes and jewelry and I spend $50 a week on food. Do you miss having big screen TVs and a tablet and other items? How have you learned so much
Anyway I’m a new subscriber and I’m going to binge watch all of your vids. You are really an amazing young lady! 🌹🌺
Thank you 💚 I honestly never owned a big tv and my mom was always frugal when it came to TVs as well so when we were kids we always had those small TVs that people usually pass down to us. I really don’t miss it all. I just purchased a laptop to do better editing on my videos and that’s kinda it what I use it for ( no internet connection) I’ve learned fast by realizing I did it want to live my life borrowing money off of people and always being broke. Now I’m so use to my life style that idk where I would be if I hadn’t change.
I love your accent!
I am getting addicted to your channel.Love from India:)
Very helpful, Kyra. I have too many devices and lights plugged in (I live with my husband and 2 kids) but from now on I'm gonna unplug at least some of them.
Great video ❤️
Where I live in Australia, electricity is very expensive, there is no off peak rates, it gets super hot in summer (35-40°c, around 95-104°f), super cold in winter, especially at night of course (0-3°c, about 32-37°f) and insulation is HORRENDOUS (no double, let alone triple glazed windows, thin walls, gaps in doors and windows...) so for 2 people, being mindful of our electricity consumption and with gas stove, we pay anywhere from 230$ to 300$ a quarter. All your suggestions are really good. I don't know if our ceiling lights are energy efficient, but we can't change them. A good thing here is that most plugs have a switch on them, so we switch everything off (not the fridge of course, like you said), even the washer. I think it's the same thing as unplugging, right???
$230-300 a quarter?! That’s pretty good. I am from Arizona, USA. I know many many people that have an average MONTHLY bill of $200-300 for electricity. Our average bill in their winter was around $60 and summer is around $150-200 per month.
@@pelagio999 yeah but that's because they crank up their ac all the time! And also, we (2 of us) probably live in what you guys would consider a small place in the US. We kept our bill "low" because over the summer if it was 30 or under, we wouldn't turn on the ac and if it was over 30, we would only put on the ac to 28 (i know some idiots who would put it on 21, but then, you need a sweater in the house in summer!). Over the dead of winter, we only turned it on for 15-20 min at night in our bedroom only, which is small, or if even with jumpers, gloves, scarves, hats etc we were still cold. And thankfully, our place is not huge. I wish we didn't have an open plan kitchen/living and radiators, just like in Europe, so much better.
Unfortunately I live in South Texas, ac is kind of a necessity 😩 but I am totally changing bulbs and unplugging anything not in use. What’s y’all opinion on power strips? Use one and turn off works he same as unplugging or am I being ignorant?
Roxi Mayte as a tip, maybe try turning your ac off when you leave the house
Omg That’s fantastic!!👍
Instead of light bulbs..I would use candles 😉 don’t even have to turn on the light when I go to the bathroom at night lol!
What Credit card 💳 do you use you said in the other video that you get cash back
I’m I have been saving money and not spending and I’m so bord and it feels like the money is growing slowly it sucks
I have put a lot of my appliances on a power strip so I can just shut off the power strip and cut the power to all of them. I did use to unplug my tv at night, but it started having problems and we we contacted the manufacturer they told us the TV needed to stay plugged in. Weird, but it stopped having problems when we stopped unplugging it. I wonder why on earth would them make it to stay plugged in.
💚💡👍
my brother keeps his electric very low by not using AC. He also doesn't use the heater in the winter
Do you literally unplug things or just switch the socket off? I’m puzzled to understand why you’d need to unplug everything when you could simply switch the actual socket itself off, or maybe you can’t do that in the US?
Yea we can’t switch the socket off in the us like that :( I honestly think I would need my landlords permission for that. The wire box is in the basement locked.
Kyra Ann OK. Plug sockets in the UK have a little switch on them so to turn things off you’d simply do it that way. You don’t need to unplug things or to use the mains switch. I’m really surprised you don’t have them there. I always turn everything off at the plug. And I recharge my phone on my commute because the buses here have usb plug points so that you can do that, just like most coffee shops, so I never pay to charge my phone 😁. I’m fairly new to your channel and you have some good ideas Kyra 👍🏻
Yes we do have that in the U.S maybe not her apartment but I do but even then I still dont believe its completely off so I still unplug things anyway
I hear an East coast accent? New Jersey or New York?
I’m from Boston :)
