Can anyone tell me how they actually cut thier utility bills?
For instance, I have a shut off valve attatched to my shower
head so when it's time to soap up, I don't waste water down the
drain. Any other ideas?

I keep my house at 58 degrees in the winter and I don't have AC just a fan
in the summer.

how much can one expect to save by cutting their thermostat setting by
10 degrees?

Varys with how well the house is insulated.
If the insulation is perfect, it wont have any effect.

Insulation slows heat loss. It cannot stop heat loss.
If you heat a house to 65 degrees and the temperature outside is lower
than 65 degrees you will lose heat. It is just a matter of how long it
takes for the heat to be lost. This of course assumes nothing in the
house is generating any heat at all.
