Insulate your walls and ceiling

by sarah gilbert

According to the energy efficiency people, the best bang for your buck is to buy insulation for your walls and ceilings (you should have 10 inches in your attic, for instance) -- it's cheap and it really saves money. You could recoup your investment in a few months in the winter if you do the work yourself.
