Cutting Cleaners Contains Clothing Costs

I am a dry cleaning junkie. I put every piece of work-related clothing in for cleaning for several reasons:

1. Lazy. Washing, pressing, starching, hemming, bringing in, and taking out are all time consumers. I always have much better things to do.

2. Results. I put in a shirt or pants and tell them "extra heavy starch" and I get a crisp, clean, good-looking shirt.

3. Space. Interestingly, I always have a load of clothes in for cleaning so that makes for more space in the closet.

Well, I've been paying for laziness with my hard-earned dollars, so I'm replacing the weekly dry cleaning trips with these:

I have eight years of experience with these tools so I'll just stop being lazy and embrace the DIY lifestyle that I am hoping to espouse on here.

How much money will I save? Well, I was having 5 shirts and 4 trousers a week in for cleaning and pressing with extra heavy starch. Take a look at how much that costs and you will see that the iron, sewing machine, and bottle of starch would be paid for in about 5-6 weeks (of course I am using straight dollars and not some fancy NPV formula). I will post pictures of some of my better hemming and alteration jobs. I can do this because I am secure in my masculinity.
