I pay less than 1.00 per lb where i live, usually .85-.90, shirts on hangars. Coin laundry places are a place to look.

well lets see, my Laundress bill, is somewhere in the neighborhood of 2.5 million, for the past 5 years, so at a average of 10lbs of laundry per week, thats 2600lbs of laundry divided by 2.5 million or about a thousand dollars per pound. the house she wanted, the art, jewelry she needed, the trips, the car, the wedding, etc etc.

I'm thinking the Fluff and Fold Laundry is sounding very good about now!

Jesus... I feel like going back to the Braveheart style of marriage - you give me a flower and I give you a piece of cloth under the moonlight.

Then you love each other until death...

This thing about Govt. coming in and taking my **** from me doesn't really convince me it's worth it. I dunno.. still young and in early twenties.. I guess I still have time to be duped and then raped for what little I have..

easy to romanticize, but remember death came much sooner back then of course

I wouldn't confide any clothing I wasn't prepared to lose to a laundry that charges by the pound.

thats actually very good advice...

shopping by price doesn't necessarily mean anything either, I was paying more at a place very close to me (nicer neighborhood), but the woman who ran the place was always on a cell phone and would mess up some of my stuff every once in a while, (nothing nice).

Now I drive a bit farther, spend a few cents less, and get to deal with a lovely old asian woman who does a much better job.

This said, its basically sheets, towels, socks and underwear that she does for me, I wont exactly flip out if she loses a sock.
