Buddy...

  1. Turn your shirt inside out before putting it in the machine.
  2. Set the machine to cold water, delicate/gentle cycle.
  3. The picture you posted is of a dry, hot desert, right? What do you think a machine called a dryer that uses heat will do? Hang them to dry on a cheap rack from Amazon or your shower curtain rod instead.

I have shirts that still look practically new after dozens and dozens of washes.

Even just hang drying will do wonders. Also for your budget. That's like 5 dollars a week saved.

We hang dry most of my wife’s stuff because it’s more delicate, hand made garments and such, but even that takes up two of those foldable hanging rack things. If we did all mine too we’d have no room to walk in our apartment. Just another way it costs more to be poor.
