How much different can 64 degree indoor temp feel based on the location? Maybe a slight variation? I get out how outside temps of 64 might feel very different depending on humidity, rain, or sun.. Our thermostat is set at 71 in the winter when we are sitting around the house. I'm ok with 68 if I'm moving around/cleaning and 66 to sleep, but no colder than that. We had friends who kept their house in mid 60's . We stopped visiting them in the winter. Just too uncomfortable.

We have just had two new supermarket chains open stores nearby: Lidl and Aldi. Both are German based, and when we were visiting Bea's sister-in-law in Germany in the early 2000's, there was an Aldi across the street from her. One visit convinced me!
What I really like is that you have to provide your own grocery bag, or otherwise buy one of their's. Plus, the prices and international selections are great. We visited the Lidl yesterday, and I was impressed! Their stores here remind me very much of Germany, which is a plus for me.
Anyone else shopped them?

We shop at Aldi before Christmas every year. They have the German cookies and candies Patty’s family grew up with.

Aldi has several stores in the area, but none very close to me. As for Lidl, they have established their US corporate headquarters here in Arlington, but no stores that close to me yet. We do most of our shopping at the commissary on Ft Myer, so not in the local grocery stores a lot.

We have an Aldi. We've never been in it. Probably should cruse it once.

Here is an email header on a spam email I got this a.m. - "Desperate Russian Women Looking for Dates."

My wife's family immigrated from Russia and she buys dates by the bag full. But not at Aldi's or Lidl's. We don't have them around my house.
