Well here in Egypt we only pay 15 egp pound which is around $ 3 a month and I find it amazing! We don't have many appliances, but it is still cheap compared to where we lived before! Even in winter when we used a heater a lot it never went above this amount. Is electricity expensive in your country? Do you get a heart attack every time you see your electric bill or you are lucky like me? Thanks.

Hi,
Heart attack.....oops actualy my stomach burns when I see my electricity bill.It comes to 6000Rs for every two months which i feel is too expensive and I really feel bad for my hubby when he pays the cheque and I would think if there could be an alternative way to find to reduce the bill.
Regards

Yes I think that's a lot and I will probably feel the same if I saw that much. I think you can try to save some, I think air condition use a lot of electricity so maybe try to put a timer while using it because after a while the room will stay cold anyway. I hope next time you get your electric bill won't be that expensive. Thank you for your response.

It is quite expensive in India and my husband does get a heart attack every time he gets the bill.
But I grew up in the middle east and I remember water and electricity was VERY cheap there. But my mother made sure we didn't misuse it and switched off everything we didn't use.

I was surprise of the price of gas, electricity and water here! But some other things here are too expensive compare to what I'm used to. I am the same we don't misuse it everything and try to switch off the things that we don't use. Thanks you so much for the response.

Yes,it is so expensive here.My average bill is around Php 5,000 - 7,000. That's about $106 - $150 per month. What makes it high is the aircon running. I can't let my baby sleep without the airconditioner on. It can be very hot here in the Philippines. And yes, I ALMOST get a heart attack every month. LOL!

I'm also from Philippines, but when I was there I also pay Php 5,000 every month. That's why I am so shock for the electricity bill here. And I can understand that you almost get a heart attack every month, lol. Thank you so much for your response.
