Hi I am trying to cut cost as I retire. My utilities bill 70$ for 1 households without aircon on SP Group. Is that normal? No gaming. Any other ideas for cost cutting besides lifestyle changes?

Cant really compare but check ur usage. as long as u do the typical water/ electricity savings like off the switch/ turn off the tap, then nth else you can do... oh energy efficient appliances if u need to replace.

U can consider investing in portable solar panel of different Watts if your place has strong sunlight. That can help in energy savings in the long run.

Hello, you can try to invest in energy-efficient appliances. One way is to look out for higher tick ratings as they mean better energy efficiency. Yes they would cost quite a sum at first but it would bring about long term savings. If you are not keen to invest in one, then the other method would be to switch to a different energy provider.

Assume -

Electricity - $35

Gas - $9

Water - $17

Refuse removal - $9

Total: $70

If you live in 3/4/5rm flat seems reasonable. 1/2 rm maybe lesser.

Don't use SP - use open market provider should usually save you at least 10% cost on electricity.
