Where do you take a shower?
Here's a tip: seal the stall and turn the water off while you're scrubbing. You'll stay warm and comfortable and will be heating less water. Find details about this crazy idea here It's like taking a Navy Shower but more comfortably.
Beside the enormous energy wasted on heating water, try an electric blanket on low and dress very warmly throughout the night (and waking hours also.)
So forget about replacing CFLs for battery-powered LEDs. That's a lot of work with no pay-out for months after the cost of new equipment.
Just don't use electricity. Try to use the electric blanket sparingly, take fast showers, don't turn on the lights, don't use electronics (microwave, neither!), don't even open the fridge. Just seal the doors and windows, hit the breaker and hibernate until spring.
Last thought: if you get enough sunlight you could try a solar panel. If you get the right size the investment will surely pay itself off if you're ALREADY paying nearly $400/mo. Plus, you'll get credited for off-season electric contributions to offset your winter usage.
