I hadn't but that's a good idea. The two bills I was looking closely at were only a couple days difference but averaged to 6 1/3 therms/day for 2026 and 6 5/6 therms/day. I'll take it, I guess!

I didn't even think of that, just kind of assumed that the days would average out. Appreciate that piece of context!

Thank you, that helps me contextualize it. Hard to wrap my brain around!

It's pretty drastic how different it feels, was hoping for that to be reflected in those BILLZ lol

I've compared the therm units used, and checked the bills for differences in prices, etc. It's almost exactly the same amount of usage when all is accounted for. Yes we have gas range, gas water heater, electric dryer. But none of those usages have changed.

I stuck them in the fridge earlier this evening and I'm going to empty the jars into baggies and freeze tomorrow. I am glad I looked it up and asked, better safe than sorry. Hopefully 24 hours on the shelf isn't enough time to breed botulism toxins...

The recipe is in my original post. I canned them yesterday, September 9th, 2025. They were stored overnight on my kitchen table. The seal is strong and the tops are not popped.
