I received the above mentioned product for review purposes, all opinions are my own.
I try to remember to unplug my phone charger when I’n done. It may only use a tiny bit of power, but every little bit helps!
I always turn the lights out when leaving the room. I unplug the computer,radio, toaster,microwave, game/phone chargers,etc when not in use. I leave thermostat on a comfortable degree and only turn it turn at night. I lowered the temp on the hot water heater.

I unplug small appliances and take shorter showers
We do two nights per week no electric night. We eat either a rotisserie chicken, ham cold , we do side dishes like fresh fruits and cheese. We turn all electric off only the fridg remains on / we plug that into a generator. We sit by candle light or oil lamps.
We play board games and read books ,wash the dishes by hand, go to bed early and just do without for one or two evenings per week. It cuts the electric bill. If one of the kids needs power and we are already commited to our no electric night they go to my Mom’s for what they need. Likewise if Mom and Dad shut off power for night or two and find they need power they come to our home.
This works for us for now.

Since my house is totally electric, I don’t turn on either the AC or the heat (depending on the season) until absolutely necessary.
Always turn off the lights!!

I hang my clothes out to dry instead of using the dryer. This saves a lot on the light bill.I also postpone using the air conditioner by opening the windows early in the morning or late at night when the temperature drops and then at 8am I shut all the windows and clothes the drapes and this keeps the hot air out during the day and lets in the cool air during the morning and at night. It still gets down to 40 degrees at night but during the day it’s 80 degrees. As long as the nights stay cool I can do this and not have to run the air conditioner. However in another month the nights will become warm and I will have to run the AC some but if I keep the drapes pulled I don’t have to run them as often or as high. our light company charges less per kilowatt between the hours of 7pm and 7am so I try to do all my laundry during those hours and charge cell phones, laptops and more. Check with your light company they too may charge less during certain hours. It can save you $ by changing when you use electricity.
Nothing too unusual, we just turn off lights when we aren’t using them and will sometimes unplug electronics and appliances.
