[QUOTE="goldenguru, post: 203617, member: 1545"] Heat stays down until the house reaches 62. Yes it's chilly. We own lots of sweatshirts. One big saver that no one mentioned is making my own laundry soap. Not such a big deal now that the kids are gone - but it is a big savings. (I always double this recipe) 1 bar Fels Naptha laundry soap 1/2 c. borax 1/2 c. washing soda (NOT baking soda) Run the bar soap through the food processor until it resembles a fine powder. Add borax and soda. Use 1 Tbs. for medication/not heavily soiled clothes. 2Tbs. for larger, really dirty clothes. Also, if the load is really dirty I add 1/2 c. borax to the wash. Add 1/2 white vinegar to the final rinse instead of softeners. It is safe for HE washers and saves lots of money. [/QUOTE]
