67 when we're home/awake, 62 when we're at work/sleeping. The upstairs zone (our bedroom is on the main floor) is set to 54 or something low just to keep pipes from freezing... i don't think it turns on much. Once baby is up there we'll have to change.
I recommend getting a programable thermostat so you can change it at times when you don't need it as warm. Our state does rebates when you buy a programable, so if you get a cheap one, it ends up MAKING money, because the rebates are more than the cost of the thermostat. Varies by state, so you'll have to google it.

Before DS was born we'd keep the house at 64-66 during the day and 62 at night. We live in an old drafty house, and DH grew up with his mom keeping the temp even lower. Now that we have LO we keep it at 67/68 whenever we are home and lower it to 63/64 when we are all out of the house. We keep it on the warm side in the summer too. DH deals with heating bills but I know they are still high even though we try and be frugal with our heat use.

Between 62-64 during the day (sometimes 66 until it kicks in then move it down and 58 at night. We live in NE but I prefer to have it colder since I like bundling. We utilize a space heater for the baby's room and DD has many blankets. Our bill is quite high but we have oil and an old house with drafty windows and limited/no insulation.

70 during the day if I'm home (housewife, so I usually am), 68 at night. I usually do it a bit warmer during the day in the summer, since I get cold and it costs less to keep it warm anyway. I also pretty much adjust it as needed. If I'm moving around a lot I'll set it cooler, if I'm having a cold sort of day I'll set it warmer. (Wait, my autocorrect is trying to say warmer isn't a word. Am I losing it here?) DH runs way hotter than me, so if I'm gone it never gets warmer than 68. Before we got married he kept it on 65 all the time, and had to turn it up when I came over because I'd freeze.
I don't handle bills, so I don't know what we pay, but I know it's not a ton. Prices are reasonable here, and we have a fairly small house.

Living in the NE, my ideal would be 72 because I like it to be toasty, but we keep it at 68 to keep our bill lower. At night, we set it to 62.

So interesting to read your feedback!

We live in Phoenix. We keep it at 72 in the winter but turn it off when we are out for the day, normally it is like 69 when we get back home.... So thankful for a well-built energy efficient home! In the summer we keep it at 80.
Our electric bill, for 1300 sq ft, a pool, and 2 people, is about $100 on average. We both work 7am-6pm though, when school is in session.

19-20 C

Okay now I appreciate my apartment because I cannot be cold. We aren't allowed to go below 67 because pipes freeze. I am cold at 76!

We live in the northeast (far north)--keep thermostat at 60 during the day when we aren't home and 62-63 when we are home and at night.
We have a wood stove that we keep going at night and on weekends to get the house up to 66-68. We only spend ~$600-700/year on propane and much of our wood is free as we cut it on our land.

73/74

We bumped it up to 67/68ish when it was in the single digits last week. I think we'll have to dial it back down to around 65, because it gets too hot in here. Definitely set down to the low 60's at night.

@Mrs. Coral: A wood stove is DH's dream. We'll probably spend most of the summer figuring out how to fit one in.
