With TNB's new tariff coming into effect this July, I'm bracing myself to minimise the usage of electricity in my household with no holds-barred solutions.
- No switching on lights after dark. Candlelight dinner sounds romantic.
- Do laundry manually except for bed sheets, pillow covers, towels, blankets and stubborn stained fabrics.
- Cook rice on stove. Same applies for re-heating leftovers instead of microwave
- Watch tv for an hour a day and pick only favorites. When bored stiff, find other means of entertainment. Read a book, do crossword puzzles or scrabble, play masak-masak and so on. The best way to enjoy hide and seek game is to play it in the dark
- Use manual fans. Better still, wear only undergarments if the weather becomes too hot to handle. Less clothes wear, less laundry
- Use a broom to sweep dirt
- To iron wrinkle clothes, put them underneath thick mattress overnight or purchase that charcoal iron from antique store. Buy non-iron clothes from now on
- Switch to mini-bar fridge from conventional fridge
- Terminate broadband connection thus stop blogging for good
Frugality has never been this cool. Ok, am back on hiatus mode *yawn* again. See ya.
