I love using fabric softener for my laundry, and one bottle of fabric softener makes two for me, and I'll share how:
I saved one of my empty fabric softener containers and when I bought a new one the same size, I poured 1/2 the contents into the empty, saved, bottle and filled both bottles to the top with water. I use a 1/2 capful in each load and it lasts me for more than a month. Try it.
I really liked your suggestion sbb1. I am going to try it. My washer doesnt have a fabric softener dispenser so I use one of the Downy brand "balls" that dispenses it. I try to do half and half, but its not as good as the way you do it. (smile)
My father always said, "Its not how much money you earn, but how you spend the money you have." I think that is why your suggestion appeals so to me.
