Money saving tips volume #2
Hand wash your clothes. Even though I live in a student residence the washing machines cost ₤2 and the dryers cost ₤1. That is approx $7 AU just to wash and dry a load of clothes... not including the cost of washing detergent! Argh, it's like a horror movie!
So, if you have ready access to a sink of some description and aren't going to really piss other people off by doing it, wash all your clothes by hand. It is pretty simple, and really can save you a lot of money. Because it is so cold in the UK your clothes don't really get smelly anyway, and because you are always wearing more than one layer only the bottom layer really gets dirty , the other stuff can go for a while without being washed. Now I'm not saying walk around stinky, because nobody wants to sit next to a smelly person on the tube... but even if you only have a small sink or shower it is possible at least to handwash your undergarments and thermals so that will save you some money.
But a better option still is to find accomodation with free laundry facilities!
