What do you pay for dry cleaning and where do you live?

It's a huge scam.

3 dry cleaned (one suit, one pair of pants) for $18

That is a good deal.

I live in Dallas and the pricing varies depending on what you drop off. I've had $50 bills for dropping off 8 or 9 items. I've stopped using dry cleaning services unless it's my suits for an interview.

you are getting fleeced. I get my shirts for $2.50 each.

I thought $4/shirt was a little steep.

That $30-$50/week adds up as much as I travel.

I found a chinese lady that does mine. I do not like her dry cleaning, but her laundred shirts are solid and cheaper than the chains. Only downside is it takes her a week.

Look for people who do laundry for a living. They will often do shirts. the shirts arent getting dry cleaned, so they don't really need anything but pressing.

same here...I just got tired of having to constantly find time to drop off and pick that shite up...couple that with the constant bills and price increases and I find it to be a lot easier to just do my own shite.

I decided to take my shirts on the westbank

When I wore a suit everyday to work back in the 90's, I would also make the drive over.

A-1 Cleaners on Johnston is the most reasonable place in lafayette,check them out!!

About this time of year 9-10 years ago the Kean's employee asked me if I needed to get a year end summary of our dry cleaning expenses for tax purposes. I told her no need to since our dry cleaning isn't deductible since its normal dress clothes and not a uniform.

She then went on to say that we were their largest Client at that location. It was Jones Creek. I said well I guess a summary receipt maybe a good idea. I forget the amount, but it was over $3800-$4,000 for the year. We switched to a cheaper provider a few months later.

That was two of us. We both wear dress clothes everyday and even had polo style shirts and everything else dry cleaned. Those were the good oledays before catholic high tuition and kid's car insurance. We never even knew how much we were spending in cleaning with their auto pay.
