What kind of clothes drying rack...
do you have?
I just bid on a metal wall one from ebay. I used to have a wooden fold up one, but it broke, and I can't seem to find any sturdy ones out there.

I have two from Target and both are sturdy metal. I paid around $20 each for them (one I paid for with a Target gift card from Christmas!), which on first glance may not appear frugal, but when I think about how much I can save by air drying my clothes, I think it's worth it. I hated the cheapo wooden one I got at Wal-Mart. It didn't last a year.
Every little bit helps on the road to financial freedom!

I also have a folding metal one that I bought at Target. I've had it about a year. It's held up really well. The wooded ones I had before my cats liked to chew on. UGH!

I have my outdoor clothes lines. . . I have lines in my basement ceiling rafters. . . . I have extra spring type shower rods to hang in doorways, and I have a retractable clothes line in the guest room.

My outdoor lines have a problem, dh hasn't had time to fix them yet. So I've been using my ones in the basement, they are just lines strung from one end of the laundry room to the other.
Never underestimate the power of frugality!

I have two different vintage wooden ones, in different styles. I visited a Menonnite store recently which had the sturdiest model I've ever seen and it was very reasonably priced. I've had mine for years and when there is a breakage, etc., I repair it.

I prefer to hang clothes outside on the clothes line, but when I can't I have a wooden drying rack that I purchased from Wal-mart for about $11. It isn't real stable, but it serves it's purpose.

I have a coated metal one I got on sale almost 2 years ago for $8. It's great. I don't like the wooden ones as when I had one years ago, it stained my white clothes.

I just have a cheap wooden one from Wal-Mart. I have to be really careful though because some of the bars try to fall down. I'll probably replace it with a metal one once I can't put it back together anymore lol.

We have a clothes line outside and a wooden drying rack for inside. I also have a few hanger bars in the laundry room that we can hang stuff to dry there too.

I have two clothes line T-posts and 4 clothes lines strung from them....they're about 20 ft. long maybe. It serves our purpose well. As far as when colder weather comes, I might invest in a used electric dryer, but I haven't decided yet. I guess if a 'free' or 'very cheap' one comes along, I'll have to snatch it up.
