i haven't, but i'd like to know some good and bad
experiences with dry cleaning and how much it
usually costs, because i bought a white winter
coat (yes, i realize that i'm crazy, but it was so
cute and i'd never owned a white one! did i mention
it was only $20 from burlington coat factory?)

anyway! i was thinking that i would have it dry
cleaned so it didn't shrink/i didn't screw it up
because i inevitably would.

...any advice would be great.

I haven't yet, but I have a couple coats I probably should have cleaned.  For my clothes I used that Dryell product with pretty good success.

I have I think once or twice but I don't bother anymore even though I have a lot of clothes that I just don't trust the washer with. I just use Dryell. Works perfectly.

Most of my things can go into the washer.

   I have had some cloths dry cleaned but I did them at home. I used those dryell sheets, all you do is put them into the dryer with your laundry. Thats all there is to it. The good points are that you do not have to worry about your cloths getting "lost" or being ruined.

I go to the drycleaners every 2-3 weeks.  I was using a lady who had just opened shop but she lost my business when she couldn't process my credit card, wouldn't accept a check, and I had to drive home to get another credit card...while balancing precariously on crutches due to a broken foot.  I now go to a place that is 30% more expensive but knows me by name, comes to my car to pick-up/drop off my drycleaning and bills me monthly. Service is key!

I do but not often.  I wear a uniform for work and it's recommended that it get dry cleaned but I refuse to spend money every week to get it cleaned so I just hand wash it.

Its been quite a few years since I have had clothes dry cleaned.  Besides there are products you can use to dry clean in a dryer.  Also can be pretty expensive.
