    In my store there was an 1,5€ one, the store brand. And we’re not a cheap country. I’m sure there’s situations where someone couldn’t even save up 1,5-5€ for fabric softener every what, six months or more, because it all goes to necessities, but I doubt that’s at all typical. At least in the sense that the cost of it would be a serious reason people don’t use it.

    A much more likely reason is that it’s not at all necessary. It can make clothes smell and feel nicer, but that’s just extra. I personally don’t use it, I actually prefer the “fresh” smell of no-fragrance laundry detergent.

      I think you might be more privileged than you think in this case. Making the choice between feeding oneself and buying a frivolity like fabric softener isn’t that uncommon in the US, where a huge chunk of people live paycheck to paycheck.
