Tell my wife she is wrong!

She thinks that if you leave anything pluged up, it draws power, I disagree!

What say you?

not everything, so I disagree also. gotchyer back bro..

Some things do, some don't

Such as?

toaster does not, refrigerator do

If your charger like a phone charger is pluged in ,,, it wil use power , From what I have seen on TV , if its warm , its using power

My toaster does. Computer, TV, set top boxes all do.

anything with a transformer is drawing power. (ie cell phone charger). Doesn't matter if the device is plugged into the transformer. TV's, cable boxes, ups, they all draw power even if turned off.

T.G... you're killing me.

LOL at (with?) TG

Measure it yourself, it's eye-opening. I arranged my surge protectors for easy access so I turn them off every night and when we go to work. I saved about $40/mo just from the TV's and computers in the house.
