A machine load of laundry costs at least a $1, and in most places a good bit more than that. Don’t drop your laundry at a service, stay and wash it yourself. Spend the time studying or decide to use laundry time to catch up on your favorite magazine or book. Maximize your laundry savings in the following ways:
Bring your own detergent versus buying the single use from the machines.
Buy discounted detergent or on sale only.
Bring your own drink and/or snack versus buying from the vending machine.
Fill the machines to capacity.
