This article gives you tips for staying warm without spending too much money this winter.
1) Only head the room you spend most of your time in. Don't heat the whole house if you only use the living room and one bedrooms. Only heat the bedroom in the evening when you are going to be in there, and don't leave the heating on when you are out.
2) Have plenty of hot drinks and warm food to keep you feeling warmer. Soups and stews are very cheap to make but are also warming. Add beans or lentils to give you more energy.
