One thing I learned, however, is that if you have a load of flannel mixed with polar fleece (a static superload!), throw in two balls of foil. That's more than one ball can handle!
Why does this work? Check out the answer and more tips here at eHow!
The Fake-It Yourself Breakdown:
Aluminum Foil "Dryer Sheet": Just about $0.00
Total Fake-It Cost: It may cost you $1.00 over the course of a year to make new balls
Compare to Snuggle Dryer Sheets ($4.99 for 80 sheets), $0.06/load
Total Fake-It Savings: $25.00/Year (based on my usual laundry pile of 8 loads/week)
