Link to my last post about winterizing your home:

A few simple tips can save you almost 30% on your heating bill this winter!

1. Buy or make a draft snake (directions here: http://www.thedailygreen.com/green-homes/latest/door-draft-stoppers-draft-snakes-460109).  Most air escapes around doors and windows that let drafts through the cracks.  To prevent this problem simply make a draft snake, or roll up a towel and place it at the bottom of the doors and windows.  No cold air will get in and not hot air will get out.

2. Wear Layers! Buy dressing in warmer clothes inside your home you can turn your thermostat down around 5 degrees and save yourself some money!

3. Add extra quilts and blankets around your home.  The blankets will keep you nice and toasty while reading a book, watching a movie, talking, or whatever and as an added bonus your home will seem more homey and inviting! 

4. Drink hot cocoa, coffee, or tea.  The warm drinks will raise your body temperature and actually make you feel warmer.


Stay warm while saving money!
