Extreme Cheapskates: Weird or Funny Things People Do to Save Money

[suv]

ito ang possible na gastos ng isang single man sa bahay

- tubig i think the minimum nasa less than 200pesos ata less than 10cubic meters

- internet mga 1,500

- food hinid ko pa macompute exact amount kung magkano rice at ulam. Pero pag palagay ko na 100pesos per day pero sa bahay yan magluluto

- kuryente ito ang hinid ko pa sure. Pero kung wala ka aircon tapos ang usually ginagamit ilaw, electric fan, tv, computer, ref, washing machine. Baka kaya 1thou a month or less pa nga. Ako kasi hindi gumagamit ng microwave. Wala din ako rice cooker., No electirc keetle.. Majority LPG ako.

So ito pagpalagay ganito computation
water bill = 200
internet 1,500
food sa bahay 3thou to 5thou
kuryente 1thou

I think pwede monthly expense sa house eh 6thou to 8thou for a single man. Pero syempre hindi kasama jan mga leisure pasarap sa buhay. im just computing yung possible na daily life expense.

Impossible ang 1k per month on Meralco. It depends on how large your house is pa.

nangyari sakin ung less than 1k meralco bill

since i live alone now and not in the house all day the only thing consuming power is the ref and some neglible standby power

sa sobra baba ng bill nagpadala ng tao ang meralco to investigate

Wow! We have a 90s ref and I think that's the reason why our Meralco is on the higher side even without using ac

Unless it's seldomly used, super inefficient na yan. Lakas sa kuryente.

Yupp, super tibay old appliance such as ref.
But hindi na kaya babayaran electric bill.
Umabot last time sa 8k/month bill ko, until we ditched our old small Panasonic non-inverter ref.
We replaced it with inverter and our bill now stabilize to 5k.
We have one aircon sa bahay last time but non-inverter + ref + LED TV lang, din ganyan na bill namin last time.
mga 18 hrs din aircon nun.

Now we have 2 inverter ACs, 1 inverter Ref, 1 LED TV, bill now stabilizes to 5k, last time we got 3.8k pinaka lowest during colder days (Dec).
I know mataas pa rin to, but our family member is using the AC for 18hrs. So less lang pahinga ng AC resulting to this electric bill amount.

So if we stayed with that old super tibay ref, we paid 36k+/yr sa electric bill alone. Liit pa ng compartment ng ref.
We bought that refer for 10k though, the inverter replacement is more or less 30k.

Solar!

I wasn't a believer until a friend got his install. Kinaya nga mag zero bill. But medyo oversized din yung solar install nya and he has a backup battery.

If you have the budget, anyone can have zero bill ... the thing one needs to know is how long ROI is ...
