Lollipops or kilowatt-hours of
electricity... you get
more for your money when
you buy in quantity.
Today, you use about four
times as much electricity in your
home as you did 25 years ago. So,
understandably, your electric bill
is higher.
But, the unit cost of electricity has
gone down! Truly, your electric
service is the biggest bargain in your
family budget.
