Turn off the lights!
The ongoing utilities that we pay out are rather excessive for two people in the household. We really should consider having a couple of roomates because I don't think the utilities would increase much if at all.
$100 two cell phone bills (will consolidate onto one plan soon, my company reimburses $50 monthly)
$350 electricity (Our electric bill at this house is outrageous. There are only two of us so we don't run the washer & dryer and dishwasher more than a few times weekly. Granted that the pool pump runs 8 hours a day, the koi pond has two waterfalls, the computer is on almost 24/7, and it seems that every light switch in the house turns on multiple recessed lights, it still seems like an extraordinary amount.)
$50 gas (over $125 in the winter)
$150 water (Our water usage is also ridiculously high. Evaporation from the pool which has a water feature and from the two waterfalls in the pond contribute to this. Recently, the koi pond sprung a leak somewhere in the lining which we've still haven't been able to locate. Our water bill this month was $350!)
