They tend to be $1 for the smallest and up to $7.50 for the largest machines. What I'd consider a normal load at home costs about $3. Then, dryers are .25 cents for 5-10 minutes, so it's usually $.50-1 per armful of clothes. That means it can easily cost $15 to do a couple's weekly laundry including sheets and towels, plus consumables. Also, you have to get to the laundromat and spend over an hour there. Not a huge expense, but not really a few cents. On the positive side the best laundromats I've found supply WiFi, multi-game arcade emulators and free coffee.
