It can. Most electronic items now days are sold with the on and off switch turning off a portion of the electronics only. There is usually a slight draw constantly. Add all the devices that do this in your house and it can amount to a small savings in electricity if you unplug when you are not using an item. However, devices that need a "keep alive" memory will lose that memory when unplugged such as the preset station buttons on a stereo. You will have to reprogram them in when you restart the device.

yes it can because so many devices we have now don't shut off when you turn them off with the device switch. Be carful when doing this that you don't power off a refrigerator or freezer though.

Yes, the reason being with no electricity nothing will operate. Leave the main breaker off for a month and your bill will be $0.00
