You have my favorite — bake something! The result is that I tend to eat much better in the winter than I do in the summer, or at least I eat warmer.

(Also, soups. Big stock pots full of soups, chili, and stew.)

a heated mattress pad.

we paid $80 for ours at Target and it was awesome. We had no heat in our upstairs bedroom back in Massachusetts and we’d click our pad on (each side had it’s own dial, so it keeps couples happy) and then go brush our teeth, etc. for bed – by the time we came back, the bed was all toasty! We also had a down comforter and flannel sheets. perfect! They have timers on them to automatically turn off, which is a good safety feature.

What a nice list of hints. I really love making use of things you are already doing to help heat up the house - e.g., after baking a delicious loaf of bread (hehe, cute pic, by the way), keep the oven door open so all that heat an slowly permeate into the kitchen an neighboring areas of the home. And do chores (e.g., vacuuming) at the coldest part of the day so you naturally up your body heat and don't need to keep pumping up the thermostat.

I'm trying to lower my heating useage by 20% this year. I own my condo but a lot of the things I'm doing and that are working can work in a rental situation. I made insulated roman shades for the windows my house. And I bought blackout curtain liners that attach the curtains I already have hanging in the front rooms of my condo. I also wear fuzzy bunny slippers that my niece gave me around the house. They look goofy but they're warm. And my little niece thinks I'm fun because I use the gift she gave me.

I made draft stoppers last year for our drafty apartment, and put them in front of our doors. They worked pretty well.
