Sandy said... Do you think these will come? Australia based?
I did not realize this was Australia based when I signed up. Now not so sure that this will come to US addresses, however, I could not find where it stated limited to Australian addresses only--so may still come. I will update you all as to whether I receive these or not.
Thanks Sandy for bringing that to my attention!

Save on Your Electric Bill
12:00 AM Posted by Centsible Mommy
Okay, so awhile back I posted about the benefits of insulating your home-both from financial and environmental standpoints. You can read that post here.
Well, I took my own advice finally, and had our home insulated with the new injectable foam insulation by EcoSafe Insulation and I have to say that even with these 90 + degree days we have been having the last week, the air conditioning has hardly kicked on at all. Maybe about 4-6 times per day as opposed to 3 0r 4 times per hour. The house seems more soundproofed as well. I know when I get my electric bill, it is definitely going to be lower than usual. I am excited about that!!!
This investment was definitely well worth it both for my pocketbook and the future of our world!
If you are interested in more information about injectable foam insulation or the other types of insulation they offer or would like a quote and live in the Western Kentucky, Northwest Tennessee, Southern Illinois, Southeast Missouri, and Southern Indiana visit the EcoSafe Insulation website. They did a great job on my home and I am very satisfied with the results. A very enthusiastic thumbs up to them! If you contact them, please tell them Centsible Mommy (Jamie) sent ya from her blog!!!!
Have a Fabulously Frugal Day!!

Discussion: Gas...$ 4 per gallon by summer?!?!
7:04 PM Posted by Centsible Mommy
Rumor is that gas prices are going to soar to $4/per gallon by mid summer. That's going to be the low end. Some areas of the country will be slightly over. I believe it... as gas prices are already between $3.75-$3.89 per gallon in my neck of the woods and appear to be increasing daily. What are consumers expected to do??? With these hikes in gas prices, sure enough prices on all items are going to increase as well.
What are the current gas prices where you live? What are your suggestions for saving at the pump? Also, does anybody know of any gas rebate programs, credit cards that offer gas incentives, or other savings programs. Share with all of us please!
Love to hear your thoughts on this,
Jamie
Reducing Energy Costs: Home Insulation
3:28 PM Posted by Centsible Mommy
Okay, so I have been on 2 kicks lately-going green and reducing household costs. I just love it when the 2 pair up as it makes the act of being frugal seem more meaningful. Well in my last post, I shared information on reducing energy costs by switching to CFL bulbs. Want to read that? Go here. In this post, I explore even more ways of reducing household energy costs. Well for starters everyone knows about the high price of heating or cooling a home, it accounts for 50 to 70% of energy used in the American home. One way to reduce these costs is to have your home insulated as this lowers your heating and cooling bills.
Insulation:
- saves money and our nation’s limited energy resources by reducing the amount of energy needed to het/cool your home
- makes your house more comfortable by helping to maintain a uniform temperature throughout the house, and
- makes walls, ceilings, and floors warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer
Thus, in addition, to this newly found comfort that insulation provides your home and the reduction in energy costs, you are also helping the environment by reducing the amount of energy pollution and green house gases caused by excessive energy use.
Sounds great right, save money and help the environment while doing so? To top all that off there are now some environmentally friendly formaldehyde free and recycled materials forms of insulation that have replaced the not so friendly chemical based insulation of the days of old.
If you are in the Western Kentucky, Northwest Tennessee, Southern Illinois, Southeast Missouri, and Southern Indiana areas and are looking for an environmentally friendly insulation for your home and a professional to install it, visit the Ecosafe Insulation website to contact a professional installer.
Reducing Energy Costs: Change a Light Bulb, Save Money, & Save the World???
3:10 PM Posted by Centsible Mommy
The incandescent light bulb, one of the most venerable inventions of its era now deemed too inefficient for our own, will be phased off the U.S. market beginning in 2012 under the new energy law approved by Congress this past December. Edison’s light bulb will be replaced by compact fluorescent (CFL) bulb.
So what does all that mean to us? Well, from an economic standpoint, CFL bulbs are said to reduce household energy costs significantly-use this calculator from Energystar to see what you can save by switching to CFL bulbs. And it also significantly reduces greenhouse gases by reducing the amount of energy used-which in turn reduces the amount of energy pollution.
Sounds great right?? Well, there is one downside to these CFL lights, they contain mercury which is toxic, so these bulbs must be specially handled when broken as well as disposed of. Go here to learn about proper clean-up and disposal as the they can pose a threat to your health if broken or if they seep into our ground water.
You can also take the energystar Change a Light, Change the World Pledge here.
You will have to eventually use these, so I figure we may as well start now, save money and most importantly help the environment.

Have you already switched to CFL bulbs? Did you notice significant savings? Please tell me about it.
