How Cheap/Frugal are you

Wow, I'm impressed that you don't use a dryer. Do you have a clothesline outside, or do you hang them inside? Don't they dry all stiff?

Clothesline outside and drying racks inside. There's nothing like the smell of clothes dried outside! Fabulous. Towels dry stiff, but they really absorb moisture when you use them. Sheets smell wonderful. And I find clothes last much much longer when they're never subjected to the dryer.

I bought drying racks for each bedroom in the house and when the kids were still at home, it was their responsibility to do their own laundry and hang it on their own racks. Now they do the same in their own places and save $$ on electricity and clothes replacement.

I've found that I can hang big duvets over the (metal) backs of the kitchen chairs and they dry within a couple of hours in winter. Plus they humidify the dry winter air!
