'The first place you want to look is your energy bill,' said Consumer Expert Andrea Woroch. 'A lot of people don't realize if they have gadgets, small kitchen appliances that are plugged in, but not in use…that they actually still consume energy — even in off mode.' Woroch says that could account for about 10 percent of your energy bill.

When it comes to balancing your budget, it pays to think outside the box.Gas and groceries are usually the first place people look when trying to save a few bucks in the budget — but there are plenty of other spots to look at.

"If you are not using a programmable thermostat, get one. This allows you to program you energy use when you're not home or away from home," said Woroch."There was a study that found 90 percent of mobile users waste money on unnecessary, unlimited data plans," said Woroch. One consumer study showed consumers are spending nearly $300 a month on subscription services, and nearly 90 percent don't realize how much they are really spending.
