Fabric Softener

     I saw this "recipe" on Pinterest, way back, in how to make fabric softener.  I  changed it a little to fit the orange juice bottle I was reusing.  Here is how I did it.

Ingredients
4 Cups hot water
2 Cups white vinegar
1 Cup Suave Conditioner (I picked Strawberry this time.  Last time I picked Apple)


The measured conditioner

     First, I whisked the water and conditioner together.  Then added the vinegar.  And lastly, I put it in my bottle.  It got all foamy, but that goes away in a few days. I use mine in a Downy ball that I got a sale for $2. 

     To break down the cost for this recipe:

$1.82 a half gallon of vinegar.
With 8 cups in a half gallon, this came out to $0.23 per cup. I used 2 cups= $0.46.

$1.50 a big bottle of conditioner.
I used one cup, which was a little less than half = about $.75.

$0.46+ $0.75= $1.21 for the whole bottle of fabric softener.  This lasts us about 3 months.  Now that is a deal. :)
