2 months ago I hung a clothesline out under the patio cover. The first month, bill went from $160 down to $70. This month it's at $60.
I usually heat my house with a wood stove so I purchased a wire clothes rack for winter. Would like the savings to continue.
Thought maybe my dryer needed upgrading with all the savings, googled it and discovered the dryer is number one source of high energy bills.
I cook from scratch one day a week (usually Sunday). So I have food for a week.
