Frugal Family Does the Laundry

"Laundry is something you do that nobody notices ... until you don't do it." - Author unknown

On an average week, Frugal Family fights through about 15 loads of laundry. With grass stain, uh, baseball and lacrosse season upon us, that number increases significantly.

Five players, equals about 15 games a week, and they need to have sporting-clean clothing. Now FF is not purporting to be an expert on laundry, and all that goes in to a successful load, but if credits were awarded for life experience, there would be a doctorate hanging above the top loader, right below the shelf holding the bulk size Tide.

Much research has been conducted over the past few weeks, and FF has come to the conclusion that there really is only one detergent up to the task of truly cleaning that which is soiled. As always, comment or message us with tips, and contact the merchants for details! Oh, and DEAL number five, is a FF favorite, message us for more details!
