I burn candles at night instead of lights. Any appliance in your house that produces heat (hair dryer, stove, clothes dryer, iron) uses more electricity than non heat producing appliances.

You did not state where you live but in the US if you go and check the website of your electric company there are many ways.
In many different areas they offer for free a thermostat that they come in and installed to help regulate so there is no spikes and you can save up to 30% off your bill. That web site will usually also give you peak times in your part of the world and you then can run your items in off peak times.
Electric heat - Air Conditioning are some of the major portion of electric bills by placing fans into the house or the attic this can circulate the air and save on bills.
We bought a stove (demo for reduced pricing) and burn wood all winter, saves on heat, and lighting.

Switch all your lightbulbs to energy efficient ones. They last longer, give off the same wattage for far, far less pull, and save you money in the long run.
I must be saving about $20/mo., even turning them off when I leave the room...

Keep your thermostat at a constant temp. Don' change it constantly. Turn off lights and appliances when you are not using them.

Keep your lights off and only use the ones you need.
