i have a front loader. ive saved lots just with that! i also saved by using vinegar in the rinse and liquid softener in the dryer. vinegar enhances the scent of the laundry soap and makes things super soft. i got a gallon yesterday for 1.69. that will last me a while and i use it for laundry, washing everything pretty much too. i found some gr8 recipes on about.com. they work and saved me loads. for the liquid softener, i mix it with water and let sponge pieces soak in it, squeeze em out and toss em in the dryer. one bottle should last 18 months.
