Multiply that across multiple devices? That’s real money—slowly bleeding out of your wallet.
But Wait—Don’t Unplug Everything!
Before you go yanking every cord in sight, here’s what not to unplug:
- Refrigerator/Freezer – Unless you want a smelly kitchen and destr0yed groceries
- Medical devices – Oxygen machines, CPAPs—maintain them safe and powered
- Wi-Fi Router (if needed overnight) – Though you could schedule it to turn off
- Security systems or baby monitors – Safety first
- Modem/Router (if you use smart home devices)
Some devices also take forever to reboot (looking at you, cable box), so weigh convenience vs. savings.
