in July! There was a heavy rain one night when I had 2 loads of clothes out to dry and cloudy and drizzly the next morning. I wash at least 3 times per week so curious if the electric bill will reflect anything? I got a nice steel compost bucket for the countertop. I was re-using empty sour-cream, yogurt containers etc. which was messy and stinky even if I emptied them into the outside compost every couple of days. The steel container has two charcoal filters in the lid so no smell whatsoever! We’ve always had cloth grocery bags but this last month we’ve been extra careful about having them on-hand in the car.
