My electric bill showed I used 400 kWh last month, which is half what it was a year ago after I got serious about unplugging things.

I always thought those vampire power warnings were overblown until I saw the actual number drop that much, so what's the one appliance you were surprised to find was a big energy drain?

Wow, I totally thought the same thing! My game changer was the old desktop computer I kept on as a "server." Plugged it into a power meter and it was sucking down almost as much as my fridge when it was just sitting there idle. I felt so dumb for leaving it on 24/7 for years.

Yeah, half is a huge drop... my old cable box was a total power hog.
