I've been saying for years that we need to slash our electricity bill, but DH was adamant that he never wastes any electricity - I seriously beg to differ. Today he was reading some analysis bill and saw in black and white that we are using WAY more electricity than similar properties in the area.

He naturally blames me and vice versa!

He says I use the dishwasher too often - which I probably do as washing dishes in one of my worst chores.

How often do you all use your dishwashers and how do you keep your electricity bills low? We don't have a tumble dryer, so that's not the culprit.
