I did some research on how much it cost to run a dryer. The info I got said an average of about 50 cents a load. I wash about 10 loads a week which means if I hang them all outside I will be saving about $5.00 a week. About $20.00 a month. I like that. I can do a lot with $20.00 extra dollars. I just wanted to let you ladies know this information. I thought it was very useful. Enjoy your day and God bless.
