Can you really save money by unplugging electrical equipment?

Can you actually save a decent amount of money by unplugging things like cable boxes, microwaves, etc.?

I’ve taken to shutting things down when I leave for work, but there’s really no way I’ll be able to determine how much I’ll save. If it’s not significant enough I’d rather not bother – waiting for the cable to reboot is a pain!

We have two cable boxes with associated TVs and DVDs that get shut down along with our clean air machines. Is it worth it?

Don’t get scamed
