My hubby has a device called a kill-a-watt meter (can be found at amazon) and when plugging in a device you can actually see how much the thing costs to run. So test some of these "oldies but goodies" on how much energy they use. I still love the thrift stores for old shirts to use for quilting though.<BR/><BR/>Carolyn in NCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15152634.post-5129720658556589242009-02-21T13:23:00.000-06:002009-02-21T13:23:00.000-06:00Lynn -- this is great --- like guys with discussio...Lynn -- this is great --- like guys with discussions about tools, painters about paint.
