Can you put a timer on the heater? Since you can predict when you'll need, and not need, hot water, then have it turn on a few minutes before then, then stay off for the rest of the night/day.
Or you could superinsulate it, so that with the lowered temperature it would turn on only 1-2 times a day.
One of the "cheap" things I learned from my Grandma is how to use the small remains of a bar of soap: squeeze it into the next bar. You might need to wet both to make it stick, but extends the soap's life by 2-4 days
