I like being frugal.

Lori Tate @onbigsmile (58) • United States 28 Aug 21

I like saving money. My recent frugal thing is to hang up our laundry on the clothesline. Our electric bill went from $75 to $40 in one month. What ways do you save money in your day to day life?

The ceiling fans as savior

Ptrikha_2 @ptrikha_2 (49753) • India 26 Jul 18

When I had gone to UK and US, I found washing machines with driers inbuilt into them. However this is not the norm in India. We hang out our clothes to dry on ropes or stands. You might think that we would face difficulties in...

When drying your clothes do you ever over fill your dryer?

moneymommy @moneymommy (3418) • United States 15 Feb 09

I have done this in the past and it took all day to get the clothes dry. I know only fill both my washer and dryer half way when doing a load. I find it better on the machine and better on the clothes. Have you ever over loaded...

Drying of the clothes.

Lore2009 @Lore2009 (7378) • United States 24 Jan 09

I usually hang the laundry outside for it to dry. I like how I can conserve energy while the clothes smell like the sun. Do you usually use the dryer or do you hang your clothes to dry?

Hanging Laundry out to dry.

saundyl @saundyl (9783) • Canada 25 May 08
