Let’s get a list going. Like with a Target debit card you can get $40 cash back and it takes 1 to 2 days to be withdraw from your checking.

      Also drink tea, or just mix some boiled water with your regular water. Drinking room temp water when your room is cold will make you feel cold.

      Or get a small room heater and use it instead of central heat

        This gets complicated. The small heater is almost certain to be resistive electric heat. Your central heat could be anything. In my area, the gas furnace is usually cheaper to run for the entire house than it is for a space heater in a single room.

        OTOH, if you have a resistive electric furnace, your advice is spot on

        Electric heaters may actually cost more in electric bills than you would spend on heating. It depends on the type of heating and the size of your space, but something like natural gas might cost less to keep the whole house at 65 degrees, rather than trying to warm a single room from 45 degrees with a space heater.

          Well in my case we spent $500 on heating centrally and only about $200 after switching to space heaters

          Not every plastic, but you’ve got the point, turns out PET softens at 70°C

          LDPE bottles are more suitable for the task although I wouldn’t pour outright boiling water in those.
