November is here and the holiday season is now upon us! As you begin your holiday shopping, your cooperative is here to help your search for holiday deals with energy efficiency in mind.

In November, nearly every retailer begins their Holiday and Black Friday deals. As you search for your newest electronics or appliances during these deals, be sure to look at their Energy Star rating. Energy Star ratings can show you potential savings from more efficient electronics and appliances. By checking their website (energystar.gov), you can find the products that can save you the most throughout the year and life of the product. You will also find lists of certain rebates specific to products based on their efficiency. 

Checking Energy Star ratings during this holiday season's sales could lead to compound savings -- both on the products themselves and on your energy bill by purchasing more efficient electronics and appliances.
