25.01.2022 How are you going mastering Cheat The Chill? Got some juicy tips for fanning the pesky cold away to avoid the Scare Conditioner? Share your secrets to help your fellow juice-reducers cheat (the chill!). #reduceyourjuice #cheatthechill

25.01.2022 Now is the perfect time to start a new energy-efficient chapter in your life by breaking up with the neediest appliances in your home. Tell us what you will ditch for the chance to win an ultimate breakup pack: http://bit.ly/2xMpD0l Whether it's your beer fridge, a game console or laptop you never shut down, your second freezer, the microwave that's always showing the wrong time, or the dryer that cooks your sheets to crispy - they're all secretly using your juice and cheating your budget. So it's time to make the break - pull the plug and give them the cold shoulder! You must be registered to Reduce Your Juice to take part in our Facebook competitions.

22.01.2022 Powerhack: Wi-Fight it. We all love to be connected online, but how much is it costing you IRL (in real life)? Wi-Fi is one of your homes highest standby energy suckers. Since you are probably not surfing the web in your sleep, shut down your Wi-Fi at night or when youre not home to save a heap of money on your electricity bill.

21.01.2022 The winners of our Shower Ballad competition are.... *drum roll* Margaret N. Kelita G. Rachel W.... Jennifer M. Claire M. Jemma B. Trisha G. Jade J. Severino B. Roy P. To all our winners, we will be in touch soon to organise your prizes so keep an eye out on your inboxes. Thanks to everyone else who entered, we loved the tunes you submitted so much that we decided to make you your very own shower ballad playlist! Check it out here: http://spoti.fi/2xeq0gl

21.01.2022 Powerhack: Stop. Hanger time. After you get your clothes out of the machine, put your shirts directly on hangers, shape them out and then hang them up to dry. They'll be less wrinkled plus they are ready to go straight back in the cupboard once they are dry.

20.01.2022 Energy Quest: Dim it down. If your monitor shines like a small sun, its probably causing strain to both your eyes and your wallet. Go on a mini mission and check all your screens, from your computer, to your TV, to your housemates second favourite laptop. A couple of shades dimmer could make a bigger difference than you think.

19.01.2022 Powerhack: Mix it up. Use wash bags for your delicates. This way you can save up your clothes for a full load and wash them all at once. (Probably still best to keep your light coloured clothes away from your lucky red cap though!) Don't forget - Fully Loaded closes at the end of the week. Get playing now: http://bit.ly/2uqltp6

18.01.2022 Powerhack. Hanging out. Who needs a dryer when we have the sun's rays? Next time you dry your threads, hang them in the sunshine. Not only will they last longer by staying out of the evil clutches of the dryer, they will also be naturally disinfected by the sun. Play Fully Loaded now http://bit.ly/2uqltp6 Watch out for Darth Dryer, he is an energy thief #gameover

18.01.2022 Remember to enter your best 4 minute Shower Ballad in the Energy Quest for the chance to win a juice-reducing prize pack! http://bit.ly/2gbtGZF Find the perfect shower tune to kickstart your day - Make sure it's 4 minutes long (give or take), put it on, jump in the shower and dance up a storm. By the time it's done, you should be too! Some of our faves so far include Shake it Off by Taylor Swift, Sandstorm by Darude, Crazy in love by Beyoncé, Bills by LunchMoney Lewis, and Raise your glass by Pink.

18.01.2022 Ever notice those little red standby lights around your house? You may think these devices are off but when they are on 'standby' they are still costing you money - Standby power racks up around 10% of your energy use! So when you see those red eyes staring back at you, put 'em to bed by shutting them off at the switch and save a stack of cash on your bill. Play Power Raid now http://bit.ly/2uqltp6

17.01.2022 Fully Loaded Energy Quest time! Thought about bringing your fully loaded game to your own wash pile? Go cold turkey - wash in cold, and only when you have a full load. 80% of the energy used in warm washes is from heating up the water - Washing in cold uses less than a quarter of the energy of washing in warm water!

16.01.2022 Did you enter our Spring Energy Quest competition? Just take on a quest for your chance to win a juice-reducing prize pack. Get in quick, it closes soon! http://bit.ly/2x5xzbD To enter, you need to be a current Reduce Your Juice participant and provide the same email address you used to register so we can confirm your details.

16.01.2022 Powerhack: Darth Dryer. This evil villain costs you big bucks - Avoiding the deathly dryer in favour of a clothesline can save you more than $100 a year! If you really do need to use the dryer, make sure you clean the filter regularly - Cleaning the filter not only reduces any fire danger, it also makes your dryer work better to help reduce your power bills.

15.01.2022 Powerhack: Crease-free kit. Not a morning person? Heres how to remove ironing from your daily routine and grab some extra snooze time. Firstly, its a good idea to pop your clothes on the line as soon as theyre done in the wash. Once your outfits dry, hang it in the bathroom while you take a hot shower. The steam will help get any extra wrinkles out and you didn't have to use the dyer or do ironing! Time's almost up! Don't forget to play Fully Loaded to unlock your final reward: http://bit.ly/2uqltp6

15.01.2022 Powerhack: Northern Exposure. Keep your feet, hands and head warm and the rest of you will feel toasty. Go for wool over cotton if you can. It pulls water away from your skin to keep you warm and dry.

14.01.2022 Powerhack: Light bulb moment - Switching to energy efficient light bulbs will save you money off your bill, and lots of it. Your lights and wallet will thank you!

14.01.2022 Powerhack: Spin class. If you can adjust your washing machine's spin setting, try reducing it to 400rpm. If you can't change the spin setting, try lowering the spin speed by setting it to low or medium. Itll use less energy, plus your clothes will be less creased when theyre all done, which means less ironing time. Bonus. Have you played at least 10 mins of Fully Loaded? Don't forget: http://bit.ly/2uqltp6

14.01.2022 Powerhack: The usual suspects - Target the worst offenders in your home which chew all your juice by being on standby. Sneakiest gadgets include Wi-Fi and game consoles - Having them on all the time is costing you mega bucks. Turn your game console off, at the wall!! It may take a while to boot up but you can use the time to think of all the cash you are saving.

14.01.2022 Powerhack: Re-booted. You wouldn't leave your tv on all day every day, so why leave the computer on all time? Leaving your PC on 24/7 uses a stack of juice and can cost you over $400 per year!!! Screen savers cost you money so make sure you power down completely. It might take a minute or two to boot up, but you can use the time to make a cup of tea and think of all the cash you saved.

13.01.2022 Energy Quest: Shower Ballad. It's time to 'come clean' on your fave shower boogies and reduce your energy bill at the same time. Share your best 4 min tune for your chance to win a juice-reducing prize pack: http://bit.ly/2gbtGZF Your quest is to find the perfect shower tune to kickstart your day - Make it 4 minutes long (give or take), put it on, jump in the shower and dance up a storm. By the time it's done, you should be too! You will be in a great mood to take on the day and your wallet will thank you.

13.01.2022 Weekend Energy Quest: Buying energy efficient stuff. Next time you fork out for a new appliance or device, make sure you check out how energy efficient it is. As a smart juice-reducer, you now know that different electrical appliances and devices cost you different amounts of money to run. For major appliances like whitegoods, check the star rating sticker underneath the stars where it says how much energy it uses - compare the watts (kWh) to save money in the long run! Als...o, note that washing machines are star rated based on using warm water. But you know better than that - go cold and save big! So next time you are sniffing out a bargain, be smart and think of the future cost too - your future bank balance thanks you in advance.

11.01.2022 Final call! Make sure you've nabbed your Cold Turkey badge and racked up 10 minutes of Fully Loaded play time so you don't miss out on the chance to score the major reward! Play now: http://bit.ly/2uqltp6 #FOMO

11.01.2022 Powerhack: Goldilocks fridge. Having your fridge too cold costs you cash on your bill. Go and set your fridge to 4 degrees. It's the perfect Goldilocks temperature, not too hot and not too cold. Juuuust right for your food and your bill. Plus, no one likes frozen cheese.

11.01.2022 The winners of our Spring Energy Quest competition are.... *drum roll* Russell B. and Duncan R. Woo-hoo! Russell and Duncan, keep an eye out on your inbox as one of our customer support team members will be in touch to organise your prize....

Have you checked out Power Raid yet? Get tap-happy to turn off your switches now! http://smarturl.it/play-fb

10.01.2022 Powerhack: Performance boost. Have you cleaned your aircon's filter lately? A build up of dirt and dust on the filter will use more energy as your aircon works harder to warm the air. Wipe it down gently and clean out all of the dust into your bin, that's all it takes! #protip

09.01.2022 Hey there juice-reducers! It looks like you have been doing an awesome job of keeping your home at a comfy temperature and avoiding the Scare Conditioner! So far our top scoring Cheat The Chiller is Natalie M. with a whopping score of 2258500 - ah-mazing! ... Make sure you have blasted away for 10 minutes to stay in the game and nab a chance to win some Cheat The Chill goodies. Play now http://bit.ly/2uqltp6

08.01.2022 Powerhack: Bright spark. What's the best way to remember to switch all the lights off before you leave the house? Make a mental checklist: Wallet, keys, phone, lights... GO!

07.01.2022 Powerhack: Hour of power. Most people charge their phones overnight, but thats way too much time for such a small device. Instead of plugging your phone in before bed, charge it as soon as you get up for work, then grab the little guy on your way out the door.

07.01.2022 How are your super switching skills going in Power Raid? Get those fingers moving and remember to turn off your switches around the house too! Make sure you nabbed your Rookie Raider badge (10 minutes of play time) to stay in the game and earn your Power Raid pack. Play Power Raid now http://bit.ly/2uqltp6

07.01.2022 Powerhack: Open up. In winter when you leave the windows and blinds closed, you stop the morning sun from heating up your place. Then if you run the aircon, it has to work harder to warm the room, costing you more money on your bill. Opening your blinds and capturing the sun will help with efficient heating. Don't forget to close them up again before the sun sets!

07.01.2022 Hey juice-reducers! The final step of Reduce Your Juice is now open - just take a short survey for the chance to win the major prize!! Check your emails and get cracking today!

07.01.2022 It's time for juice-reducing bragging rights - congrats to our top 5 highest scorers for Power Raid. How close were you to scoring glory? Keep up the good work!

05.01.2022 Powerhack: Basket Case. A laundry basket is a good way to stack up all your dirty washing during the week to make sure you only wash full loads. Washing small loads uses the same electricity as a full load, so stack up your dirty laundry for a full load. If your machine has an energy saving option, try it out for extra savings on your energy bill.

04.01.2022 Congratulations to the winners of our 'Break up with your biggest juice-user' competition! Thanks to everyone else who entered, we hope your Energy Quests are going well and hopefully saving you some cash. Reduce Your Juice'rs will have another chance to undertake a new Energy Quest soon, so stay tuned towards the end of the week for your next chance to Reduce Your Juice.
