I am saving about 40c each time I hang the load outside instead of using dryer. I have about 4 to 6 loads a week, or about 20 loads/month x 40c = $8.
It takes me about 5 min to hang it up and about 5 min to take it all off for each load, longer if I have lots of socks and other tiny items there.
Of course, it's less than you would make at work for the time spent, but it's untaxable, and doesn't count towards your income.
