How do I make changes to increase the value of my home without racking up big remodeling bills?

Question

I know kitchens and bathrooms are the best places to put your money, however I am on a budget and the place just needs some upgrades because it is in good shape. Some things are a bit outdated like light fixtures and such. How much of an increase in value can I expect without doing a major remodeling?

If you are wanting to sell, pain and carpet are easy, and increase the value. If you plan on being there a while, new windows help, save you energy, and there is a tax credit this sear for part of the cost of them. Also an efficient furnace will help the value. Anything that will lower utility ills will help, and you too.
