Comparison Shop
Familiar with unit prices? They’re found on just about every item in your local grocery store, and they provide a ton of info about how much you’re actually paying when you shop.
Go With the Low-Flow
Go with the low-flow. Appliances that is. Be sure to contact your local utility provider to learn more about any discounts or rebates they may offer for switching to low-flow appliances.
