If you keep a pitcher of juice or water in the refrigerator, it's important to make sure it is covered with a lid or layer of plastic wrap. Moisture can be drawn from uncovered liquids, forcing your refrigerator's "no frost" function to work harder. The less moisture that's inside your fridge, the more efficient it can work.

According to the utility company Con Edison, the recommended setting for the air-conditioning thermostat is 78 degrees. This is the ideal temperature to achieve maximum energy savings while maintaining a pleasant, cool environment at home. Another way to make rooms feel cooler is to add ceiling and table fans that circulate the air around the home. These are cool ideas to save money and stay comfortable.

Here's an easy and useful housewarming gift to bring to any party: an upcycled cigar box filled with herbal tea bags. Simply visit a local cigar store and inquire if they have any wooden boxes they are tossing out or willing to sell (usually rather cheaply). Then fill the box with a variety of organic herbal tea bags, a bottle of organic honey and a whole lemon. Your hosts can then offer teas after dinner from your gift.
