I have a few power strips - one has the kids' computer, the TV, the wii. I read that anything that "glows" when it's off, is a vampire appliance - sucking energy. When we leave or are going up to bed, I flip the switch now as I leave the room.

I think it actually has made a difference in our power bill. It's been pretty low, but the weather has been moderate, too.

I also unplug the coffee pot, toaster, tea pot, etc.
