1-2-3 Static Free!

I used to place a fabric softener sheet in my wallet on occasion, simply because I liked the way it made my things smell whenever I opened it. Well, not any more! I choose to 'freshen my wallet' a different way. Well, actually 3 ways.
Here goes:
1. Right before you use your last dryer sheets, run to the store and buy the store-brand liquid fabric softener and a cheap spray bottle. Pour 1 part softener and 1 part water into your sprayer.
TaDa! You have just set yourself up for an annual 62% savings in your quest for fresh-smelling, static-free laundry!
Yes, I did the math, and boy does my wallet feel fresh!!
2. But what if you use that last dryer sheet before you prepare your new money-saving spray? Not a problem, simply wad up some aluminum foil like a golf ball and throw it in with your wet clothes. Static-free every time! Only minus the fresh scent. Funny thing, I never can seem to find that rascally ball of foil when I fold the laundry. Maybe the aluminum evaporates in the dryer, or maybe it's just under my couch! Oops!
3. No aluminum foil? Weird, but no worries! Just pour a little White Distilled Vinegar in the wash during the rinse cycle. It's a great laundry brightener! Now, unless you really like hovering over the wash waiting for the rinse cycle to begin, please know that you can fill a Downy Ball with that magical, I-can-do-it-all liquid! - Vinegar!
Go ahead and try it, you know you wannna!
