I do everything needed. Unplug appliances, turn off the lights, use extension cords for everything, use efficient light bulbs. But my electricity bill is still high. And I really need to save. Help.
Does the use of extension cords save money? I only use mainly two sockets but the electricity bill is still up?

The use of an extension cord has nothing to do with saving electricity. If you use one that is too long, then you are waisting power. This is a small amount though unless it’s really long.
There is a lot involve with saving electricity. To many to list here.
1. Changing A/C filters.
2. Letting air in or out of the house. Cracked doors, windows not closed properly.etc.
3. Over-temperature on the water heater. Wasting hot water.
4. and the list keeps going.
No extension cords do not help, two many thing on it will over load your circuit breaker.
Try turning off the things you don’t use.
