We live in a small apartment, so some utilities are covered, and the ones we do pay are not a lot, since we have such a small space. How much do you pay in utilities per month? How big is your house/apartment?

~3000 sf house, but 3 spare bedrooms are closed off. We only have electricity and heating oil bill. (No gas and we have well water)
Electricity: ~80 normally. ~140-180 if the AC is running in the summer.
Oil heating last year: ~ 2800 for winter, so avg 233/month over the year.
This year we installed a wood stove and spend 1k on wood which should last the season. We may have to buy another 250 of wood.
Oil for hot water, probably about $30/month

Gas for heat isn't bad 'cause we're on the top floor, honestly I don't even look, but I think it's about $100/month in the winter per month. Electric is about $75/month, less in the winter and more in the summer since we use our central air. Trash we pay by the bag, special bags sold in stores by the city, $7.50 for 5 bags, recycling is free. Our landlord has to pay the water. Our place is under 1,000 sq ft.

We have a 1500 sq foot home.
Electricity (including water + sewage) -- runs from a low of 120$ in the winter to about 250$ in the summer
Gas-- about 12$ in the summer, more like 25$ in the winter.
Our utilities actually went *down* when we moved from an apartment to a house! Even though it was 400 sq feet bigger, our house is very well insulated, has double-pane windows, etc. I can't complain about our bills!!

Thanks for sharing everyone! It helps me grasp a better idea of how much things really cost.

We have a 1600 square foot inner townhouse (meaning we have units on either side of us). We do balanced billing for heat and electricity, so they are the same every month until they reassess every so often to make sure you're paying enough.
Electric = $86 (including summer AC)
Gas (heat and cooking) = $44 right now, it was down to $19 for several months
Water = $60/quarter

It's about the same every month. Our city water is notoriously high, they were under charging about 20-30 years ago so we get to make up the difference.
