Brrrrrr....it's cold outside! But staying warm doesn't have to cost you. There are actually some easy ways to stay warm during the colder months.
Insulate, insulate, insulate. Rolls of insulating tape cost a few bucks and can normally do several windows or doors. If you have a drafty house, spending $5 could go a long way to save you money and keep you warm.
Buy yourself a space heater. These can be very inexpensive and very efficient at the same time.
Put a towel under a door. This keeps heat from escaping or cold air from coming in.
Close off unused rooms.
Put on some clothes, would you? It’s winter – dress like it! I normally wear a sweatshirt or fleece in my house at night, as I would rather do that than turn the heat up even higher.
Pick up a programmable thermostat. I have said it again and again, that this could be the best investment you could make to keep your utility bills down.
Keep wool or fleece blankets around.
Make hot chocolate or tea. A quick pick-me-up of a warm beverage goes a long way to making you feel warmer.
