Unfortunately, we have the opposite problem. We use exorbitant amounts of electricity. It would be our civic duty to consider installing solar panels.
My extreme frugal confession? Re-gifting. I often get really nice gifts and think, "Oh, this is so nice. It would be a great gift for so and so." My family gets so mad at me. They think I don't believe I am worth a nice gift but that isn't it. I would just rather see someone else enjoying it because otherwise, it would just sit in a drawer in my house. The joy was in the receiving of good will. I received it and now would enjoy passing it on.
