Discover What's Racking Up The Electric Bill

I've heard of this product before. Buy.com currently has a pretty good deal on it (unfortunately shipping isn't free). Plug an appliance into this unit and get a readout of the Kilowatts consumed by it. Might be a worthwhile investment to plug up those 'electric leaks'. Shipping is about $7.

P3 P4400 Kill A Watt Appliance Tester $17.99





Update: Newegg has it for $17.99 with $4.99 shipping (just search for item P4400).

IRS has Web Page for Information on Economic Stimulus Payments

See the link below for information on the IRS website regarding the Economic Stimulus plan.
There are links to question & answer pages as well as information to help previous non-filers get the rebate (as noted in my previous post). There is an example (kind of vague) showing low income filers how to fill out form 1040A.

If anyone has any questions, leave them in comments, I'll try to poke around and find answers.
