Default Toilet tank sweating

I have a Kohler toilet tank in one of the bathrooms that sweats so much that
it forms small puddles on the tile floor.

This worries me because I fear it will eventually soak into the baseboard
and down to the subfloor and cause a moisture problem.
I can't spend all day running back and forth to dry it off.

I've been told that it is because the humidity is too high in my house and
that I should get a dehumidifyer. That is out of the question, I cannot
afford one.
Though there is a certain amount of humidity, it makes it easier on the
sinuses this time of year.

The water here is quite cold right now, and I would like a simple solution
to this problem.

Have any of you any suggestions that are at little or no cost?

TIA!

I would worry that if there is much sweating in this colder weather
that your house IS too humid and possibly requires more ventilation in
order to avoid potential mould and perhaps ultimately rot.
Do you regularly run ventilation fan and/or crack open a window after
shower/bath and/or when cooking etc.
