Absolutly true! Especially the laundry detergent- the appliance salesman I dealt with recommends using half what the package says and 1/4-1/8 for front loaders. Same results, and the package lasts forever!

Absolutely agree - I have been doing this with laundry detergent for years!! The only time I use the full amount is for my husband's greasy work clothes.

I saw this on the news as a whole family downsized half of everything; even their house! That's a tad extreme for me but I like your idea, thanx!
