and you can throw in a wad of aluminum foil to reduce static in the dryer.

someday I will try the bags and soap! and someday I will learn how to post a link in a comment.

Katie says:
Can you really put aluminum foil in the dryer?!?!


from Steve:
Invest in some *good* insulated socks for all four of you. When you crank the thermostat down to 65 or so it makes the winters more bearable.

from Lorie:
Many homemade household cleaners use vinegar. Check out http://www.versatilevinegar.org/. If you do an internet search I'm sure you can find other "recipes" for household cleaners. I think Money Saving Mom did a post on this but I haven't found it, yet.
