Stopping drafts is an easy way to reduce your heating bill in winter. If you own your home you'll probably want to add weatherstripping as a permanent solution, but if you're renting or low on funds you can repurpose a 6ft length of pipe insulation available for $1-1.50 at any big box home improvement store into two door draft guards.


This tip was posted on online deals forum FatWallet by user peas who found that pipe insulation works just as well as the $5-10 "as seen on TV" Door Draft Guard. The only disadvantage is that the pipe insulation cannot be used on windows unlike the Door Draft Guard.
