Speaking of electric bills....
Our newest one is $338, the highest one we've had so far. Seems ridiculous but I'm nice and cool, so I guess I won't complain too much. 
Re: Speaking of electric bills....
Umm...we just got ours for this month and
. We talked to the electric company and will be switching to paying based on average. I'm with you though I think I would much rather pay the money and be comfortable than have a very warm house and a lower bill.
This is the way to go.
For years, I have had issues with OG&E - my bills during the summer were low than BAM - November and December bills would be huge. Then January - May I would have a credit. Absolutely ridiculous. Since I started averaging I haven't had this issue.
73? 70? That IS that cool. Granted, both of you have been pregnant most of the summer so it is warranted....but I am not surprised at the cost of the bills if you are keeping it that cool.
Mine was $292. I've been keeping it at 71/74 night/day on my side, 70/74 on H's side, and 78 upstairs all the time.
I just called to do the averaging and it dropped it to 177 for the month, so that works for me. I like not having surprises!
ETA: Last month my bill was $301. So I did a little better this month!
I just can't imagine keeping this house at that temperature. We had to run the a/c that low in our old apartment, but I guess this place is better insulated.
78 does it for us. We've even been sleeping at that temperature, and just fine. The body adjusts.
I thought 78 would be too warm, too, but it's not. Like I said, the body adjusts. I am a very warm-natured person, and yearn for days in the 50s. But I can function just fine here on 78. I would rather pay a little less, and know that I'm not killing my air unit and being wasteful by keeping it at a higher temperature during a major heat wave like we had.
Now, the other night, I turned it down a bit because I knew the unit could handle it, and it was cooler outside. That was nice, and I slept well. But I can handle it the other way, too, if I have to.
