Hear me out: I live in New York, and I don’t have in-unit laundry, so I have to schlep my linens out of the house and down the street. However, the $30-40 I spend monthly on dropping my laundry off for a wash-and-fold is, and I cannot stress this enough, the best thing I do with my money. It’s definitely a splurge (especially for family-sized loads) but I’m here to encourage you to treat yourself to a wash-and-fold every once in a while. Even if you just get your bed linens done, think of how much happier you’ll be to have a pre-folded fitted sheet to put away—no fiddling necessary
