Saving a Little Bit of Money on Laundry Supplies (WFMW)

in cleaning/laundry, finances/frugal ideas, going green

My tip today is pretty short and sweet, but it is something that works for me, so I thought I would pass it along.

Fabric softener dryer sheets, I think, are pretty big. So, before I use one, I just rip it in half (inside the dryer, in case anything “falls” out, per se) and throw in only half a sheet. Then, when I do my next load of laundry, I use the leftover half.

I know that there are those spikey dryer balls that could probably be better, since I wouldn’t be using them at all. But, after hearing pretty mixed reviews, I decided to stick with ripping them in half. (I will note that I have heard of people cutting a whole package worth at the same time, but that it is difficult. I figure it’s easy enough for me to just do one at a time.)

I know this seems like it isn’t a big deal, but when I realized that this means that my box that is meant for 120 loads of laundry actually lasts for 240 loads, that sure seemed like a big difference to me!
