Maybe we could start with one month? Six months seems a bit scary for me, especially since I have just one ds and sometimes it's hard to pass up Target clearance! Of course, we are now on the rice and beans wagon, so Target is too expensivefor us!

We are also not going to use our dryer at all....just the clothesline.
Anyone want to join us?
