Today I did something that I never do. I hung some clothes outside on the clothesline. My time is precious, so I usually use the dryer. Today I wanted to speed up my washer and not wait on the dryer, so I hung these shirts on my clothesline. Which is more frugal-the clothesline or the dryer? Does the dryer use that much electricity?

Allegheny power has this on their website.

My new dryer is 5300watts but it also has a sensor in it that shuts it off before the time is up, if the load is dry.
I also found this- http://michaelbluejay.com/electricity/dryers.html
So...with a fairly new dryer, you probably spend $10.00 a month plus or minus. Is that worth your time? I also didn't use one for 2 years and we saw no noticeable difference in our bill. I guess it is equal to about 3 coffee's from starbucks,etc. Or 3 happy meals...
And now I found something else that says i use 24.00 a month? Who knows!LOL! I need to take my sheets off the line.
