Put on a sweater and slippers and then turn your room temperature down a degree or two. I used to feel uncomfortable with the house below 72 degrees F, now I rarely like it above 67 degrees F - it's just what we are used to.
Buy a programmable thermostat and have the temperature drop automatically at night but warm up before you wake up. You can also set it to turn way down when you leave the house during the day.
On top of that, if you are running out for a few hours, turn the heat off or reset the thermostat to go off for that period of time and turn back on before you get home.
Digital thermostats are not expensive or difficult to purchase. Buy one today - it will quickly pay for itself. And, don't forget to turn the room temperature down.
