By the time you do a load of sheets and a load of towels. We're actually keeping the clothing down to 2-3 loads a week which is a miracle!!!! We have had a couple of night-time issues creating extra washing and I have had to dry the odd load which is where the extra is being spent. It's really wet up here! (although they tell me it's just "morning mist" to them compared to the wet season). Well, I do 8-9 loads of washing a week at home. By the time you do a load of sheets and a load of towels.

At $3-$4 a load that's 6-8 loads of washing each week. That's an awful lot of washing. I love finding my way around different supermarkets, but I have to admit I also love doing my regular shopping in my local store, the one I aslo work at, so I know where everything is and can be in and out in an hour if I'm pushed for time. Although being pushed for time is rare for me. $25 a week on washing? At $3-$4 a load that’s 6-8 loads of washing each week. That’s an awful lot of washing.

Sounds like you are doing a great job balancing the budget. Great little report on the practical side of a long family journey. Sounds like you are doing a great job balancing the budget.
