That is all well and good for t-shirts, polo's and jeans.

Dress slacks and shirts need to be pressed.

I don't iron. Wife doesn't either.

I'm not a big price shopper but yesterday's bill was the last straw.

Champagne lifestyle on a beer budget....

My dry cleaner is my husband. 15 years in the military and he'll iron stuff for me better than any dry cleaner.

My clothes for work (scrubs) are like 'jammies. Wash and outta the dryer. I don't believe in ironing anything that blood/spit/puke/etc will eventually touch.

Last time I sent my stuff to a dry cleaner, it came back smelling like curry or old man BO. I'm not sure how b/c it was a Greek lady that runs the shop.

I usually hand wash my good dresses etc....

I use Dryel for my dry clean only stuff. If you take the clothes out right away all you have to do is hang them right away, and then lightly press them if you need creases, etc. Costs much less, smells awesome, and works really well.

Downy wrinkle release is also my friend when I don't feel like ironing things that don't need creases and what not.

I only dry-clean my suits... I think it's like $6 per jacket/pants combo... I get my ties dry-cleaned every once in a while... they wanted to charge me $0.75 per tie, but I told the chick where to go and they charge me $0.50 per tie now. I never did any shopping around... the place just happens to be right on my way to work, in fact it's about a mile up the road and I pass it twice a day everyday.

You should shop around just to see how good you have it.

You are paying less than half what I am!
