turn off the monitor when you're not using it (that's about the only one i can suggest, my computer is always doing 'something' when it's on)

You can look into the power management setting to turn off things automatically when you're not using them.
I still think it's pretty pointless to try. The difference will be so little (even for TO.) that it's not worth the inconvenience.
Put a jumper in your circuit breaker from the electric meter. lol... lol...
lol i aint movin to quebec i am not very good at frenchlol
and i aint gettin circuit breakers or sumthin lol
go to the power option in your pc and set it to turn off the monitor after 20mins of non use
