Another thing I do is plug any electrical devices I can into power-strips/surge protectors and turn them off when the devices are not in use. All wall-wart type transformers draw power even when the devices they power are off. Touch these black boxes at the outlet where they plug in and you'll feel heat. I believe many internal power supplies in devices are similar, and draw some power even when the switch is off.
