ok this may sound a little dumb but i am moving into a new apartment that has no washer and dryer (its a sacrifice so that i can keep my two dogs) but has laundry facilities on site. however i am a full-time student and i also work fulltime. the precious "spare time" that i do have i dont want to use sitting at the laundromat, there is a place in town that will wash, dry, fold/hang up my clothing for $1.25/lb. so i was trying to figure out on avg how many lbs. of laundry people have a week. (2 people live in the apartment)

It depends on what type of clothing the two of you wear. If you are blue jean and sweatshirt people, it won't take too many pants and sweatshirts to equal a pound. If on the other hand you wear a lot of khakis and cotton or blended shirts, then you can wash quite a few pieces of clothing for a pound. If you have to have a clean bath towel or two everyday, those will also add up to a pound fast.
I would suggest that you give it a trial run for a week or two and see how many pounds you are averaging in a week what kind of money its adding up to. Then the two of you will be able to decide if its worth it or not.

I don't know how to figure it out - but $1.25 is expensive. My laundromat does it for .89 per pound. Never had them washed for me though, only because I know how heavy they feel and I'm afraid of how much it would cost.
If it's your first time going to the laundromat, you might find that you actually like it. Overall, it takes much less time to do all of your clothes in one shot using a few machines than it does to do one load at a time.
I'm a busy bee too, and just stick my clothes in the machine, do other stuff, come back in 20 minutes to put them in the dryer, then come back in an hour. I bring them home unfolded and fold in the comfort of home (which I would have had to do anyway).
If you go at strange off-hours (which it sounds like you would), no one minds if you dump the clothes there and come back for them - just don't try it at noon on a Saturday.

i agree 1.25 is going to add up your spare that you spend at the laundrymat can be used for checking up on school work
it really is a good place to study if you go at off peak times like not on the weekend.plus if you both share laundry duties it really isn't that bad. how much clothes do you really have
2-3 loads that's only about an hour and half

Sounds like a deal if you can afford it. If your trying to figure out how much a pound of clothing is, weigh yourself, then hold a laundry bag of clothing you'd like to have done. The difference between what you weigh and what you weigh when your holding the clothes will be the poundage of laundry you'll pay for.
