For those of you who DO NOT have a washer/dryer in your house/apt, how much does your laundry cost?
When I drop mine off (someone else washes, dries, and folds and is back in about 6 hours), it is around $20.
I just decided to do it myself, and each load for wash and dry (provided it only goes through the dryer once) is $3.50 ($1.75 wash, same dry). Oy.

I pay about $7 for a full load (colors and whites) when I do it myself in London. That's one thing I absolutely won't miss.

Well mine isn't in my Apt, but it's in the basement of my building.
I pay $2.00 for each wash load and $1.75 for each dryer load.

In my first apartment, where I lived for two years, it was free. In my new place it is $1.50 for the laundry machine, and $1.25 for the dryer.

Posted: 12/13/05 at 7:44pmI also have my own washer/dryer inside my apartment and it is truly heaven not to have to lug that big bag back and forth to the laundromat weekly. Back when I did, I think it was roughly $16 to $18 for drop off service.

Posted: 12/13/05 at 8:13pmI'm very jealous of you guys with laundry in your apartment. At least mine is in the basement of my building.

Posted: 12/13/05 at 8:56pmAnd of course when I just went to get my clothes from the dryer, they aren't even close to dry, had to put in another $3.50 for a second go-round. *sigh*

Posted: 12/13/05 at 10:00pmI thank God every day for my ability to accesorize (sp?) and my washer and dryer. My partner says I am obsessive with the washer and dryer, because I am always using them......hmmmm

I will always remember the day the Sears delivered our Kenmore set in 1995 - what a day.
L - we do about 10-12 loads a week and spend $10-15 on shirts and dry cleaning. I do not iron, so anything that needs an iron goes out including C7's dress shirts.

Posted: 12/13/05 at 11:01pmI pay $1 a pound for my laundry (plus an extra $1 for fabric softener). I usually drop it off every two weeks, so it's about $30 each time for me.

Posted: 12/14/05 at 10:01amI LOVE my laundry people. I drop it off before work, and pick it up on the way back. For one week's worth, they only charge me $6-$7, and it's all folded and rubber banded into seperate sections.

liotte, i feel your pain. when i lived in the city, i had to schlep my huge laundry bag 4 blocks, and then sit and wait 2 bloody hours while it washed and dried.
i miss living in downtown manhattan, but i thank my stars everyday for my laundry people! (and my cleaning lady, who only charges $30!!)

At my old apartment it was $1.00 wash, and a $1.25 dry.
Now I have in-unit machines and water is covered by my rent. Praise the lord.
