Saving Money on Energy- heat, etc.

Its that time of year. Like many of you I need to save money and nothing sucks up dollars like heating during the winter. I have to heat my house, my dogs and my greenhouse. Its not uncommon for me to have 500.00 a month in bills, mostly from heating.

I'd like to start a thread on saving money. I recently purchased infrared heaters for my home, dogs and greenhouse. (see blog link below)

I have to say that I'm impressed with the way these heat and they have come down in price. I need to insulate my pipes better and may very well just run these. I even bought one for the greenhouse.

what temp do you keep your home and do you find yourself turning your thermostat way down to save money?
tips? ideas? bitching?
