I just moved into a new place that is older than places I've lived in before. I lived in two pretty new apartments before, and each came with all appliances. The electricity bill for those places were about 50 dollars/month. They were one level. This new place I'm living in is pretty old, with washer/dryer and fridge that is about 10 years old. It is two level. We rarely use the heater/ac and only cook occasionally. I'd say we wash about 2 loads a week. Is a bill of over 150/month normal for our situation. I only ask because it's 3 times what I used to pay. We also went away for December and turned off all appliances, and came to find the bill for that month only marginally lower than before. What could be happening?

Sounds like the place you moved into is not very energy efficient as far as the appliances, the building itself, including the heating/cooling system. The meter readers usually don't read the meter every month and base your bill on previous useage, including the power usage of previous tennants. If the situation doesn't improve, move before you are in debt to the utilities and can't get service in a new place.
