I used to work in a concession stand, and I'd come home with grease or popcorn butter on my clothes. I figured, "If dish soap gets grease off dishes, it surely could save my clothes." So I tried dabbing some dish soap on the spots and working it into the fabric before throwing it in the wash. It works! Also, if you are looking to get a stain out of colored clothes, peroxide is a great color-safe bleach. Mix it with some baking soda to form a paste and work it into the clothes. It will save almost anything!
