Pennies From Heaven

Cutting Down on Winter Costs

As winter approaches I think of drafts, fuels costs, keeping the family warm inside and the cold outside... This is the frugal side of me.  So....

I am doing a search on making Draft Stoppers.

Sites with Pictures (I like because I am a visual learner :)

These will definitely save you money this winter.  Back East you always use such things but here in California, they are not as common :)

In addition, if you get really crafty you might be able to make some to sell!
