I watch my electricity useage carefully because my utility bills are noticeably higher if I don't! A few dollars a month may not seem like much, but why waste. A lot of gear consumes power even if switched off, so I also use switched power strips.May I also suggest making fewer, but better, purchases? Plan on keeping things longer, and buying better quality. That "cheap" item may not be so cheap if all costs are considered, including added pollution caused by manufacturing, landfill space when it dies prematurely, etc.
