10 No-Cost Ways to Keep Cool

Aug 14th 2010 10:11AM This is a nice list. Here are a couple ways to even get more bang for your savings. Do not only cook in your crock pot move it out of the house to cook. I have a covered area on my patio with an electric outlet. I simply plug it in outside and let it cook out there. I also use my bread machine every other day. All my bread gets cooked outside as well.

I have found that air drying is also a great way to keep extra heat and humidity out of the house. I have a couple clothes drying racks that I simply move around the house and yard so that I can take advantage of the breeze and sunshine or the shelter of the house when we are expecting those summer pop up thunderstorms.
