What is a good heating alternative?

With the rising gas prices, we are looking at options for keeping our old farmhouse warm this winter. What kind of space heaters have you had experience with? What about the baseboard units? We are especially looking at ones with good safety features. What type would keep a room that is probably around 400 sq. ft. warm? We don't want to spend a huge amount on buying one, but if it will really cut down on gas costs, that is also a benefit. It would need to be able to be purchased at a fairly common store (Walmart, Menards, Lowes, etc.,) since we live in the midwest where there aren't a lot of shopping areas close by. Thanks for any ideas you might have.
