Wow! Some of you are doing great!
My most recent bill was from July 12/11 to September 09/11...total usage was 1,050 kWh, which averages to 17.5 kWh/day. Household had two adults and four teens. Electric devices were stove, laptops and routers and one desk top PC, washer, gas drier, and A/C for a few days when my wife had to decorate three different wedding cakes and three birthday cakes.
I daily turn off phantom loads whenever I can.
The worst bill for the year was Dec./Jan at 1591 kWh for the two months. The drastic rise was due mostly to an oil-filled heater in the basement bedroom.
My house is similar to Xringer at under 1000 sq.ft.
