Just wondering what everyone is paying. What are your gas/electric, water, garbage, etc. running you a month?

Next month will be interesting to share as I just started doing the frugal stuff with my utilities. Shutting off unused fans, night lights, alarm clocks, shutting lights out once leaving the rooms..ect..

But this month my bill was $186.79

This includes:
Electric
Water
Trash

Per Month ~

Garbage = $23
Electric = $187 (this is budget/over in July I think it will drop to $150)
Water = $0 (we have a well so I guess the pump running could be included in the electic)

Our water heater is on propane so that varies, we fill the tank (200gal) every 6-7 months. The furnace is run on fuel oil and I don't even want to go there!

We are on equalized billing so it's the same every month.

Water $22.00
Electric $90.00
Gas $64.00
Garbage (part of our property taxes)
Water Softener (hard water area - everyone has one) $22.00

__________________

All my utilities including city bills, gas, electric
$160

Including tv, internet, and cell phones
$100

Total $260

Electricity=$120.00 a month
Water=$100.00 every 3 months
Sewer=$80.00 every 3 months

No water bill - we're on a well
No sewer bill - we have septic
Garbage (unlimited) - $52.07 paid once a quarter ($17.36 a month)
Cellphone (AT&T) - about $43.50 give or take a few pennies every month
Internet (Cable One) - $51.48
Cable (Direct TV) - $56.98
Electricity (electric water heater) - low of $61 to high of $170 when we're running the air conditioner.
Gas (only for the furnace) - low of $2.58 to keep the account open to a high of $150 in the coldest part of the winter.
Telephone - one land line is $28.81 and the other is $31.05. The other line is a little higher because it is the one with the international long distance service on it.
Plus, once a year we pay $75 for irrigation water (equal to $6.25 a month)

Let's see, that adds up to almost $300 a month MINIMUM, just for utilities.

This month our Electric Bill was $95 but normally it varies from $100-$150 at it's highest.
Our Water is billed quarterly and it's always $70 so $20ish per month.
Our Garbage is included in the HOA fees which are a high $75 per month, it's high b/c it includes the neighborhood pool which we don't use so I wish they would seperate those payments with only those that use it should pay for it.

I don't consider phone/cable/internet to be Utilities, they are wants not needs. But if you are including those:
No land line phone, my dh and I each have cell phones and bill is: $115 total
High Speed Internet: $35 per month
Direct TV: $35 per month

Okay, now I feel really bad

Gas varies alot from about $30 in the summer to close to $300 in the winter
Garbage (I think) is $53 every 3 months

Our water/sewer currently is at $50-$55.00 rates when up in the last 3 mnhts used to between $30-$35

Gas we were on budget for $92.00 but starting this month it will be $175.00 currently I have a $500 balance, obviously I wasnt paying attention to how OVER budget we were! I think I am going to also get off their budget as well and deal with it monthly. Not until fall though so I can get the balance to 0 over the summer.

Electric budget was 95.00 going up to $106.00 I have decided to end that budget as well (we are going to NOT run the air unless absouletly neccesary.) This monhts bill was $74.00
