In addition to all the suggestions given here. If you have a forced air furnace, and can switch just the fan on use that.

According to what I have read, basically what big department stores such as WalMart do. Is they only turn on the AC to cool off to a certain temp. Than switch to just the fans to circulate the cool air.

I would imagine this would work with the letting the windows open at night. Closing the windows early while it is still cool, and just using the fan blower.

Gee, I bet even just using the fan would help with the windows open.

We only have a large window AC in our kitchen. When it is extremely hot, I turn the fan to the furnace on to circulate the air. Sometimes if I don't have it on the kids beg me to turn it on.
