Good tips; but as they used to say- "been there, done that." 
It's a trade off on this tip; you'll use less heat, but a bit more electric.
Run a humidifier in the winter. Moist air feels warmer, and you can lower your thermostat.
(I keep mine at 65-55 at bedtime/or at work)
Another tip-
Attach (either temporarily with Velcro or pins) or permanently by sewing them together) a 100% polyester
sheet to a cotton comforter.
The man made material keeps the heat in, and the thermostat can be lowered to 55 easily.
