frugal Tip Tuesday!

Oops..it's Wednesday already and I just realized I did not post my frugal tip for yesterday! Sorry to anyone looking for it!!
Did you know you can double the life of dryer fabric sheets by cutting them into halves? It works! I tried it. I can't tell the difference in how my laundry comes out, and my box lasts twice as long. Being mighty frugal, I'd say!
