Buy a programable thermostat. It does the work that you might forget to do.
Wash your laundry in cold water. With the miraculous "New and Improved" laundry detergent out now you don't have to use hot water for that "ground in dirt". The only thing I might wash in warm/hot water now is Mr. Lixy's work stuff if he has grease or diesal fuel all over them.
When you purchase the big ticket items (ie: fridge, washer, dryer) make sure it's an Energy Star product.
Those compact bulbs can save lotsa dough in a long run but are initially pricey. Do one room, or just one lamp, at a time.
