Electrical outlets and light switches inside the house are generally not insulated and can be one of the main energy leaks in the house, allowing cold air into your home. One inexpensive fix is to invest in foam outlet- and switch-sealers, which go underneath the plate, insulating them in seconds.

Winter months stuck in your house can be miserable, so one easy way to jumpstart spring is to bring some fresh cuttings indoors. Instead of costly flowers from the supermarket that have been flown in from more tropical locales, just look in your own backyard. Evergreen sprigs and cuttings retain their color, are plentiful and last a long time in a simple arrangement.

Food you throw away because it's gone stale wastes resources and money. One easy way to keep food tasting fresh is to invest in a resealing device that heat-seals a bag of chips, a plastic pouch of produce or a loaf of bread as if it was never opened. These battery-operated devices gently warm up the plastic, creating a solid seal that traps air out and keeps food fresher, longer.
