Does it really save electricity when you unplug appliances?

Question

I was told that if you unplug your appliances (toaster, toaster oven, microwave, W/D, it can save on your electric bill. Is that true?

Also, does turning the lights off and on (off when you're leaving a room, then on each time you enter that room) use more electricity?

Answer 1

Yes, it really does!

Answer 2

I am not sure but I know leaving appliances plugged does use energy even when they are off so it would make sense that by unplugging them you would save on electricity.

Answer 3

i think not because the device it self is of right?
