Frugal and Energy Efficient Living

It's big enough to handle a couple of jeans at a time and some people have used it to wash bedsheets. For the single person on a tight budget and not much clothes to wash, this may be the way they and very possibly I go.

In doing some calculations last night, the biggest savings I can get immediately would be to stop using my electric dryer and use a folding clothes dryer rack as shown in the link below.

I looked at Lowes last night and a front loading 3.9 cu. ft. front loading washing machine goes for about $800.00 with tax and a comparable size top loader is about $500.00 with tax. It'd be less then a $100.00 total for a hand powered washing machine and clothes dryer rack and I'd start saving money on my water and electric bill right off the bat.

I could sell my current washing machine and dryer to my ex wife's sister for an amount that would cover the cost of the hand powered washing machine and dryer rack.
