Specifically from that list, we highly recommend installing draft guards under exterior doors and weather stripping around windows, and spraying Great Stuff in cracks less than 1″ wide. If you’re really on a budget, you can make your own draft stoppers, caulk to your hearts content, and buy some warm sweaters, socks, and thermals at the Green River Thrift Store.
