OMG
It's so cheap and works a treat.
I bought a sweatshirt about a year ago and being my favorite thing to slob about in, also ended up fading quite quick due to the amount of washing it ended up going through, then last night I got bleach on it. I now had my a faded navy sweatshirt with a big red streak from the bleach.
I bought dye today and tried it..Oh my goodness it's only gone and worked and looks as new as the day I bought it as do the 2 very very old and faded blue vests I've had for well over 15 years.
1 pack of dye = less than 2 quid
1 500g pack of salt = 45p
Replacing my fave sweatshirt - over £50.
Put the two in the machine with the clothes, run on 40 degrees.
When that cycle has finished, wash with detergent on 40 degrees then dry clothes.
Run empty machine with detergent just to make sure all dye has gone and everything is all back to normal!
I know this could have gone on any number of money saving threads but I thought this gem deserved a thread of its own.

Don't buy new clothes when they've faded or bleached, re-dye them!
