It takes about $17 for a single load at the laundromats near me, both washing and drying. Going once a week, that’s over $800 a year.
Which is one reason I’ve started washing clothes in a 5-gallon (about 19 liters) bucket at home. It sucks, but it saves me money and I get a work out from it. I’d like to get a small machine I could use in an apartment, but where I live it wouldn’t be safe to have packages sitting outside all day and I try to avoid big box stores, so I feel pretty screwed.
You might want to look into “portable washing machines” - they’re under 100$ comes in a small box and are good for things like socks and undies.
Regarding the packages, if they are shipping with ups, theres a service where you can choose an alternative delivery location, usually a place like a corner store, or with fedex, a print shop.
$3 a load? Whoa.

wringing out clothes from a tub is absolutley the first thing I did that lead the my carpal tunnel.

when youre talking to poor people, $100 isnt chump change. Im glad these things exsist now. 20 years ago I could have used one.
Wtf 17 dollars? The laundry mats around me are like 3 dollars to wash and free dry.
Is there an Amazon Locker near you? Those are pretty handy for safe package holding.
