  How about a worse way?

  I've measured constant loads using a $20 multimeter wired in series
with the AC mains plug.

  Not good for loads that vary over time, and at $20 the Kill-A-Watt
is *definitely* worth it, but hey, I didn't have one of those at the
time.  :)

  Thanks to Tom Buskey for the link to the $21 KAW.  At that price,
it's a no-brained.  >click<
