You wasted 11 cents!!!!! ok so lets say you do this every day of the month. 0.108$ * 31 = $3.348 you just wasted a whole freakin 3$ and change. OK, so what?! Lets say it is 2 lights now. them means you just wasted $6.696. Now lets say you have the same bulbs in 2 lights outside you have on all night (like man$13.y people in my neighborhood.) You just wasted $13.392. Oh now that looks a little bit more significant.
Oh so look I just saved you 160$ a year.....

Yeah....
Our electric bill is usually about $260 USD a month +/-.
Our december bill was almost $500 USD
We don't use propane or oil or gas or anything though..... Just wood pellets for the stoves in the winter (which still have electrically driven augers)
