I’m not a big fan of Al Gore, lol, and I’m getting a little tired of him shaking his finger at people! But I am 100% in favor of conserving energy and being thrifty and resourceful. I hate waste! And it seems that whenever I plug in my behemoth old vacuum, the lights in the rest of the neighborhood dim and my electric meter jumps up (as well as my electric bill). Energy is so expensive here in New York State, so a lot of us housewives have been hunting for ways to save on those big bills. The time has finally come-an Energy Star-approved cordless vacuum! It’s the new Dirt Devil AccuCharge! This thing should have a sticker of a smiling Al Gore. Then maybe he’ll quit nagging and whining, lol!
The new AccuCharge Stick Vac and Hand Vac use 70% less energy. That knocks a huge chunk of energy off my bill! We have a lot of carpeting (and it’s old, so it’s harder to vacuum), and every bit helps. It is TERRIFIC that companies are recognizing the need for more efficient, energy-conserving appliances. The Dirt Devil AccuCharge not only gets Energy Star approval- it gets Freaky Frugalite approval!





Life is never dull, and exciting things just seem to always happen to me... why me... when I'm not running around the house fixing things, I'm a freelance writer for national media outlets like USAToday.com, Salon.com, and others. I've even been interviewed by TIME and The Wall Street Journal about blogging. Can you believe it?! Here is where I express my zany, creative, motherly side.
