Another reason to be wary of big markdowns on home appliances is because the appliance may have something wrong with it. Sometimes stores will mark an appliance down because of a scratch or small dent in the exterior, and most people won't mind these things. However, if you see an appliance marked down and you cannot find anything wrong with it, make sure to ask the store exactly what is wrong with the appliance. There could be something broken inside the mechanism, or the warranty on the appliance could be void.
Affects Personal Hygiene: after a bath, it is difficult to feel clean as there is a soapy film which remains on the skin. This leaves the skin feeling dry.

Even as simple as unplugging the television set when not in use, unplugging chargers if you are already done with the charging as well as unplugging every home appliance that is not in use. Putting them on standby still consumes energy and a number of appliances placed in standby and plugged can still consume a large amount of energy.
Number Two - Refrigerator: If you did not buy yourself a fridge you would need to live near a frozen lake or pond in the winter and build an underground cold storage facility for the summer months. Food needs to kept cold to stay fresh. That is a fact of life, and unless you want to cut out giant blocks of ice in the winter for your ice box, you will need a fridge.
Get a programmable thermostat for your home. A programmable thermostat is very useful in helping you save home energy.

With the use of a programmable thermostat, you can automatically lower your thermostat setting even when you are asleep at night or when there is nobody home.
