Dishwashers are great and can help save a lot of time. However, they can also use a lot of power, especially when it comes to drying dishes. Luckily, you can save some money by skipping this process. We're not saying you have to forgo using your dishwasher entirely, but you can just let your dishes air dry if you stop your dishwasher right before its drying cycle kicks in.
This should save you some money by cutting out the most energy-intensive part of the dishwashing process. You could also just switch to washing and drying by hand to cut down on using even more energy.
