tead. Larger households that do eight loads of laundry per week and hang-dry only 50% of those clothes can save up to $47 per year.
You can also try tossing a dry towel into the dryer with your laundry. This can reduce drying times by 10%!
Save on RefrigerationKeep the freezer compartment full – remember to defrost it regularly. Unplug and clean your fridge’s coils twice a year, and set temperatures between 2°C and 3°C (fridge) and -18°C (freezer). It all adds up and could save you $25 a year.
