Energy usage

I was given a gadget that will measure the energy use of my electrical appliances and help work out their monetary costs

Kettle 2890 W
Computer 130 W
Toaster 1010 W
Phone charger 0.002 W
Dishwasher 600 W
Big TV 110 W
Small TV 42 W (21 W standby)

Which means that £1 ($1.90) gets me

178 cups of tea (2 cups per boil, 800 ml water)
80 hours computer time
255 slices toasted bread
32000 charges of my phone
9 dishwasher loads (2 hrs per load)
100 hrs big TV
250 hrs small TV

I started a new job today.
