10% off at Lowes only gives me a little off if I have to pay 7% tax.

Use GCs from OM or Staples via Ink.
Or Q2 on Freedom.

I got this idea from MickeyG. You set it up in advance and it works like a thermostat to learn when you need heat and when not. It apparently can save hundreds per year.

Seems to have sensors which is likely problematic for shabbos.

Just found a reseller on amazon selling for $220 plus $~5 for shipping...not a bad price

Can anyone vouch for the nest in terms of cost savings? Aside from looking nice does it actually work!

So, I haven't had it long enough to really vouch for it. But I will say this, it's been pretty cold in NJ since December, and my January bill was $40 lower than the previous month...

There are several settings which should be turned off. I turn everything to off so it just heats up based on my schedule.
I LOVE my Nest!

I bought mine mid January and my gas bill was higher than normal. I am really hoping next month goes way down. Something doesn't seem to be adding up here..

I would recommend calling Nest and asking them what really needs to be turned off.  You basically want to know which settings can sense if there are people around or not. I think it senses body heat to know if there are people home. I turn off the Auto-Sched, Auto-Away and Airwave
