Saving Money- Homemade fabric softener recipe

Sunlight Soap Advert a String of Women Admire the Results Displayed on a Very Long Washing Line

With the prices of everything going sky high in the stores, I am trying to make homemade versions of almost everything. I recently came across a recipe at A home with a smile for homemade fabric softener that looks worthwhile and will give it a try when my current bottle of fab softener runs dry.

"I've been using homemade fabric softener in the washer for several months now. It works in the dryer and even for the clothes hung on the line.
1 bottle of hair conditioner (CHEAP.......don't remember the brand I used but it was $.79 and lilac scented)
2 cups white vinegar
6 cups water
Mix in a gallon jug. I transfer it to a used softener bottle, then use that cap as a measure for the amount to use."
