If you have any outdoor lights or utilities, maybe set them up on Solar

Try cooking in the microwave.
Grill steaks under the top element.
Make a roast as a treat.
Try cooking one pot meals so you only use one element.
Turn down the heat on the hot water cylinder element to 55C
Take showers not baths.
Only heat the the rooms you are using.
Turn all the appliances off at the wall and don’t use standby.
Even turning of the computer when not in use for several hours will save a little.
It is surprising how much power is used by TVs Videos etc when they are on stand by when all added together.
