I don't think it is worth it. If you are cold for extended periods of times it weakens your immune system because your body uses energy to stay warm. This makes you more tired, even if it is just a little, and the overall increase in fatigue lowers your body immune response. This is what kept people believing if you get cold, you will get sick. There's more to it than that, like the presence of germs and no prior immunity to them, but being cold and getting sick is correlated.
I like to keep my heat at 68-70 when I'm home. My bill is never more than 100.00, but I live in a small place that is well insulated. I add more clothing or a blanket before raising the temp to 70.
When it comes to heating and cooling cost, it is best to keep it on at a moderately bearable temp, than to raise and lower it a lot.
