LP co switched to smaller tank
I hear ya! We only need lp for our kitchen stove. We use our wood insert only, if we should have to leave for more than two days in the winter, we do have a back-up lp furnace.
Our propane company called us last year to come out and REPLACE our 500 gallon tank with a 250 gallon tank, because we did not USE enough!! We had it filled then, and we are still at only 60%!!
We are also fortunate to have our own wood, which we cut and split. It is very time consuming on your weekends all spring, and early summer, and if you are a procrastinator, early fall. LOL.
Maybe you can just do your own wood a little bit at a time? Something might be better to help you save even more $$$$ in the long term.
Staying warm in the single digits in Michigan......it is winter. :baby04:

I rent and we have propane only...here in cold Vermont. I'm spending about 170 to 200 a month to keep the apartment reasonably warm 
Congratulations! Oh how I miss wood heat!
Last April, we were down to 1/2 tank of oil and I never filled my tank. It's now just below 1/2 and I'm hoping to make it through to this April without filling. I only use the furnace on single digit days to help keep the edge off the cold. The rest is up to the stove, warm clothes, and lots of blankets!
