Still Recovering from the Shock...

OK that was a bit dramatic but let me tell you what I found with that little electrical testing gadget...

If I run my yogurt maker for 9 hours four times in a month, my bill would increase $.50.

If I run my crockpot on low for the same amount of time in a month, my bill would increase $3.50.

If I run my dehydrator for that amount of time, my bill would increase $18.00!  GAAHHHHHH!

I am still planning to test out the other appliances in my house but this finding has sent me cowering into a corner for a little while.  I'm so disappointed in my dehydrator.  What's a dried fruit lover to do???
