Brew Your Own Coffee
We know most people can't survive without coffee in the morning because we're in the same boat. But we also know that spending a few bucks at Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts every morning is a waste of cash. That's why it's much more cost efficient to pony up a mere $36 for a snazzy-looking coffeemaker like the Braun KF590 and buy your own beans or grounds. This baby brews up to 54 ounces through a Brita filter and has a programmable timer so you can have fresh coffee when you wake up. Or, you can leave it unplugged when not in use to cut energy costs -- it's up to you. Unless you're incredibly lazy, there's no reason to keep throwing your money away at the coffee chains. (For more coffee makers, check out this lineup.)

My brother bought my Mom a BUNN coffee maker (last Christmas) which is supposed to be plugged in 24/7 to deliver coffee within 5 min of pouring the water inside of it. That HAS to be a big killer on electricity. I mean come on, it must be consuming at least 30 watts 24/7.
And my parents still blame me their monthly $100 - $110 electric bill. I'm the one who told them to convert all our lights to CFLs (which 75% now are)..and change all the Halloween & Christmas lights to LED lights which are about 75% to 90% cheaper to run & brighter than the old incandescent ones. (We used to pay about $135 last year during December due to all the X-mas lights...now about $20 cheaper!)
I actually take a shower with just a night light on since we have a glass shower door. It's plenty of light. Plus, it's great when you first wake up & you don't want that bright light. (We have a light fixture in the bathroom that uses 4 - 40watt bulbs...so 160watts vs my 7watt night light)
