You’re free to use the money for anything you like, and as such are commonly used to pay for things like medical bills, weddings, home repairs or appliances.

The general advice is to run your dishwasher when it’s fully loaded, although some sources, including Cascade (opens in new tab), say even a half-load is still more economical than washing by hand. However, if you do wait until you have enough to completely fill the dishwasher, try not to overload it otherwise the dishes will not clean properly, and you will need to run another cycle.
