The Price I pay for electricity
Unlike just about everything else I buy in bulk, the more I buy the cheaper it is per unit, my electricity supplier charges more per unit the more I use. My electricity meter is read quarterly and now the first 333kW hours are at a lower rate than any over that. (Except during off peak periods.)

My retailer is TRU energy for both my electricity and gas.

Have you ever considered about including a little bit more than just your
articles? I mean, what you say is important and all.
However think of if you added some great pictures or videos to give your posts more,
“pop”! Your content is excellent but with images and clips, this
blog could definitely be one of the best in its field.
Great blog!
