Really stretching this 30% in my tank as far as I can go before refilling AGAIN.

Told Megan. She doesn't want a wood stove because "I want a fireplace." So she can pay for the propane.

I got a mailer for 1.849/gal from one company but the last time I had another company fill it, think they were 1.809.

So 500-700gal (if I REALLY stretch it), do the math.

And I had JUST filled 220gal up in November.

That’s good news my furnace didn’t kick in on Sunday which was weird but I’ll take it. I’m hoping it’s $40-70 less this month

My SEWER ONLY bill just jumped from $75.30/mo to $93.44/mo

Fuck Illinois American Water

Thank god I’m on a well. People complaining about $2-300 water bills.

i have my "normal fridge", and a fullsize second one, then a standing freezer as well.

Oven is electric and i can tell days when i use it my usage is through the roof.

our dishwasher and washer/dryer also basically never stop running

also two electric panel heaters in two bedrooms.

trickle chargers and camera's aren't using much.

my oven being electric and my washer/dryer/dishwasher going 3 times per day every day adds up.

I've been using ~950kwh a month. Looks like my ComEd account is nuked so I can't look at historical from my other house.

I feel like 950kwh is a fuck load of electric though. Though I guess not from the above bills.
