When Was the last time that you were at a laundromat?

@Wanderer : That's the pits. I put both comforters in one large dryer. They were dry in 20 minutes. $4.75. I had to use two washing machines for the comforters. They were $8.75 a piece.

@ladybeachbum : Yeah. The previous time that I was at a laundromat was when my washing machine broke. That was probably 30 years ago. It is so expensive to do laundry that I don't know how people get by without a washer and dryer. My dd, when she was putting her dh through college, used to hand wash all of her outer wear and hang on a drying rack. She only did sheets and towels at the laundromat.

Gurlllllllll funny you ask thisA couple of weeks ago I did go to one and boy was I surprised/entertained by what all goes on inside thereIt's like a different era!No thank you.

I don't think I have ever been in one. I send my to the cleaners and they washed it for me . But I have quit using them . I now use the light weight ones that fit in my washer.

@lynnsgirl : I know what you're saying. I went to one previously years ago early evening because it was the only time I could get there, and our washing machine was broken. OMG. It was kind of scary. This time, I went early afternoon, and it wasn't quite as crazy.

I've used laundromats all over the country; it is a different culture, but never had a bad experience at one. we probably set a bad example if anything as we would roll in after a long work day and drink a couple beers as we did our laundry (years ago); fluff and fold is the way to go if you don't have time to babysit the laundry.

@RajunCajun :Been a few decades since I've been to one....When I was in my 20's I used to go to one all the time...Reason was that I'd get busy/lazy during some weeks and my worn clothes would pile up....Instead of spending a whole day washing and drying 5 loads of clothes in my own machines, I'd run down to the Washateria(what we called em') and use 5 washers and dryers at the same time and have them all done in less than 2 hours...Did things I really wanted to do the rest of the day...Good Times!!....

@EddyFree :
Smart idea.

I do my comforter and other blankets there! I call it a laundromat!
