Everyone is so excited to have you aboard they all forgot to give you some advice....

Use a plug in kettle. I bet you knew that one.

Compact flourescent / LED bulbs.

Stoves and ovens are electricity hogs. The excess heat also makes your A/C work harder too. Toaster oven for small cooking/ baking jobs. Crock pot for soups.

Add extra insulation to your fridge. The closed cell house foam is the best. You can use water based contact cement to attach arborite to the sides and edges to make it look nice.

Add extra insulation to your hot water tank.

Ciao!
