Let’s say I have a computer plugged in, or a microwave, or phone charger plugged in. Isn’t the point of a device being off is that it’s not supposed to be using electricity? How much watts of power am I looking at that’s being consumed per hour?
Where does this apply and where does it not? Shouldn’t I try to unplug everything as much as possible to save money?

Here in UK we have switches on plugs to switch them of at the wall. Saves having to unplug/plug back in everything which is handy. Until you switch kettle on in morning for a cuppa and go get ready for work only to poor your self a cold tea when you’ve forgotten switch it back on!
Edit: Little typo, switches are on the wall socket themselves not the plug.
