We also have been trying to figure out ways to save this winter, we decided to not use the heat until the morning and then get the house very warm and keep it off the rest of the day and wear socks, etc. I also don't use the lights during the day and unplug things (coffee pot, radios, etc). I didn't think it would make a difference but it did!

I may be strange, but I can't sleep well if I'm warm and typically will wake with a headache and stuffy nose if we don't keep the temperature in the house around 78 at night. However, we live in the deep south and only use our heat one or Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8296105834039618441.post-8488806093217731112008-09-30T16:33:00.000-04:002008-09-30T16:33:00.000-04:00Oh Tracy--I can so relate to your bill--ours was 3...Oh Tracy--I can so relate to your bill--ours was 350 too---UGH!<BR/><BR/>That is so great on the hundred dollar saving---Woohooo:)<BR/><BR/>Julieann<BR/><BR/>P.S.

It serves more for a storage area than a dryer, LOL!<BR/><BR/>When I get cold in the winter - that is when it is time for me to get moving - I'm usually only cold after I've been sitting, so I try to get up and do something to warm up - dust, vacuum.

This makes sure that there are no leaks or drafts. We do it on our new windows even as it acts a barrier between the inside of the house and the freezing cold glass. We leave 3 windows bare of the treatment so that we can get fresh air in. <BR/><BR/>Also laying blankets on the Ways of Zionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03845627192800685702noreply@blogger.com
