Utilities cut off more customers who are behind on their bills
As skyrocketing food and gasoline prices strain budgets, utilities are disconnecting many more customers who fall behind on their bills, and even moderate-income households are getting zapped.

Electricity and natural gas shutoffs are up at least 15% in several states compared with last year. Totals for some utilities have more than doubled.

1. To help stay out of trouble with utility bills in the first place,
we would all do well to turn to Lehman's for some ideas and products that don't use electricity.

My favorite catalog. I have bought a lot of the stuff in it, lol.
