Save on the Bills

Alan Barthelmess
Winter is closer than just around the corner it seems; with mornings in the low 30s, it’s probably time to start preparing. There are many ways to prepare for the upcoming cold and some of us dread the increasing bills to come. Never fear however, because here are a few simple tips that should make paying the bills a little less stressful. The biggest thing I urge readers to do is get a digital thermostat, if attainable. With these, you can program the temperatures to your schedule so that you are not paying for heat when you are not using it. If you don’t have a digital thermostat, and don’t wish to purchase one, just turn the temperature down to, say, 55 degrees when you go to work/school. You can also just adjust the thermostat to around 65 degrees and wear a sweatshirt.
