Money Saving Ideas for Staying Warm

Winter's here, and that means we're all looking at spending more money staying warm. Israeli houses are definitely on the chilly side if we don't heat them, and we know heaters cost a lot to run. (But did you know that it almost always actually costs less to run your mazgan for one hour than to run a space heater for an hour?! Go figure!)

It all adds up fast - so I'm all for saving money but staying warm. I have a few tricks, but I'd love to hear yours too!

1. Don't boil the kettle all day long. Boil it in the morning and fill up a thermal carafe! That way you can have a hot drink as often as you like, all for the cost of boiling one kettle! I have a carafe similar to this one. I also have a larger one for when more people are around - this is the one I got. They last years and years, and are totally worth the investment.

2. Wear really warm socks. It makes such a difference. If you don't like wool socks, they sell all sorts of fuzzy socks all over the country (check Max Stock or similar!).

3. Warm up quickly with these instant heating pads - they're reusable and great for when you just need to get the chill out of your hands. Some people really like hot water bottles too. Just be careful - they do wear out and you don't want to get a burn if one fails.

4. Block drafts. I made a draft blocker for the bottom of one of my doors out of an old pair of sweatpants. I'm sure you can find something lying around that can easily be made into a draft blocker! For windows, I bought foam weather stripping tape and it helps!

5. We warm the bedrooms before going to sleep, but while we're sleeping, we use really great down comforters to stay warm. (They're even sometimes too warm for some of us.)

6. Hats. Several of my children wear hats all winter long (um, all summer long, too perhaps, but we don't need to go there today, do we?), and they tell me it really makes a difference and isn't just an old wives' tale. Apparently most of our body heat escapes via the top of our heads, so it makes sense that it works! I personally cannot wear a hat all day - I'd get a headache, but if this works for you, it's really helpful!

I'm sure there are many more tricks out there. Share your favorites in the comments! I'm looking forward to hearing your ideas!

New iHerb savings inside!

iHerb is doing something this December. There's a new BIG discount available every day!

Today, I'm excited to share this discount for 20% off your purchase of Body Care items.

Now through 12/15/21 at 10:00AM PT, get 20% OFF Body Care using this link - it will load Promo code BODY20 and Rewards code QEJ101 into your cart for maximum savings. You'll get the better discount of the two when you check out. If they don't load, just load them into your cart yourself, one at a time. Click to add a promo code, and then after it's applied, click to add the rewards code and apply that. You'll see which one gives you better savings.

Don't forget these important, basic principles of shopping online from Israel:

- Keep your order under $75 to avoid paying VAT!!

- Spread out your orders. If you want to buy more than $75 worth of items from one seller, and you have the option of splitting your order - DO IT. BUT don't order more than $75 worth on any given day to the same shipping name/address/ID. If you do, customs may combine your orders and charge you. Give it about 3 days between orders.

- Always look for the free shipping option - usually it's to a pickup spot

I was so excited when my order came to $74.98 after the discount was applied, and with free delivery! Talk about maximizing savings while avoiding import taxes! I hope you're just as successful!

Enjoy and happy saving! Click here to shop at iHerb!
