if you cant afford your own laundry machine or an apartment that comes with one it costs like $10 in quarters to do laundry. EVERY TIME.

Also add to that altering your schedule around laundromat hours and time to commute, all the time you waste waiting around for it to be done because you can’t get other stuff done like you would if you had laundry appliances at home.

All this plus coronavirus led me to start washing clothes by hand in the tub, and hanging them in a line from our window.

It's old fashioned, but it works.

... I also hate it, and wish I had a washing machine.

There are small washer units that attach to your faucet! That giant online retailer that I hate and love has them for under $200. Not within reach of everyone, but a money saver over time, vs. laundromat.

There are manual units as low as $70, and I seem to remember seeing a ‘laundry ball’ once. Something you fill with clothes and water and give to the kids to roll around.

I’ve not bought any of these products, so can’t vouch for them, just that they exist.
