During the spring and summer months my gas bill is very low--just $10. I think that's just a maintenance type fee because the only thing that uses gas in my house is the central heating. When the weather turns cold my gas bill comes to life, increasing along with my electricity bill, too.
My first winter in my house, I used my electric blanket to keep warm most of the time, only turning up the heat when my family came to visit. Otherwise I kept the setting down to about 69 degrees, so it rarely kicked on, but kept the house from getting to freezing temperatures. This really kept my bills low. It's just me up in here, so as long as I had my electric blanket over me, I kept warm. That is, until I had to get up and go to the bathroom. But that's a small price to pay compared to a large power bill.
I'm just reminded of this, so I am going to dig out the plug to my blanket and turn the heat down tonight.
