Dry Cleaning Take II

So, the super expensive dry cleaning came back on silver hangars, not white like our cheap Plumsteadville cleaners, so clearly it's worth it.

Or not.

I asked around and dry cleaning is a very hot topic among the expat wives. But, the responses were all identical--it's just that expensive. One woman, who was the envy of all the moms, had an iron that cost 600Euro,($840.72). She said it works fabulously. The overall consensus is that I need to buy a high end iron and iron my husband's shirts. I've been looking around, but it's hard to figure out when everything is in German.

So, I took two more pairs of pants to the dry cleaner. This time (same dry cleaner) it was 12.50CHF and 7 days. I picked those up today and dropped off 3 more pairs of pants. 10CHF and 10 days. I'm so confused. So confused.
