Stay in the room that has the window cooler, avoid opening doors and cook outside using camping equiptment and plug in pans like gridles (for pancake), skillets (for whole chickens and ground beef) and rice cookers. Eat your fruit and vegetables raw. Keep the curtains closed during the day. If you are lucky enough to live where it cools at night, open your house and vent it out capturing the colder air. Use a cheap fan to move the air or get a whole house van. I also found that when my husband layed insulation in the attic it helped alot. Many older homes have very little or no insulation.
