    Nobody’s mentioend laundry detergent sheets yet? Super cheap. I buy the Poesie brand. 160 sheets in a box for $9.49. That’s just under 6¢ per load. For my two loads of laundry per week, a box lasts me a year and a half.

    Bonus: the box takes up almost no space, 6" x 5" x 3".

    Also, white vinegar is an awesome replacement for fabric softener!

      “Detergent sheets”, “dryer sheets”, it’s like you’re in a different world with these fantastically strange single-use products :D

      They look like a tissue made of rough fiber, do they dissolve or do you have to throw them away after usage? Either way it seems less practical than just adding a bit of powder, but what do I know :)

      Another replacement for fabric softener is hair conditioner (diluted with water so it runs better). I only use it when washing polyester fleece, since that gets fiercely static, so it’s nice to be able to use a product we already have at home.
