I fill a Bath & Body Works pump bottle that I keep by the kitchen sink. I have a dishwasher which I use every day or two but I also wash a fair amount of items by hand as well. If you do not have a dishwasher, of course, it would last less time.
Just to compare the two most popular dishwashing liquids and their cost (from Coupon Mom)...
1 gallon = 128 fluid ounces
Dawn Plus, 19 oz. $2.08 = 7 bottles = $14.56
Dawn, 38 oz. 3.74 = 4 bottles = 11.22
Dawn, 19-24 oz. 2.24 = 7 bottles = 15.68
Palmolive Ultra, 25 oz. 2.39 = 5 bottles = 11.95
Palmolive, 10 oz. .89 = 13 bottles = 11.57
Palmolive 20-25 oz. 2.25 = 7 bottles = 15.75
Definitely a great buy.
I don't calculate / compare everything I purchase like this...I mainly eyeball the ounces and cost. For items that are regular frequent purchases, comparing the price closely can save you a bundle, especially if you have a large family. Price books are recommended by many savers but I honestly have never done that. However, I do have an app called APPBOX PRO that has about 40 apps within it. It's referred to as the Swiss Army Knife for your digital life. :) One of these apps is PRICE GRAB which lets you do an apples to apples comparison between products and I do use this app at Sam's Club periodically to compare to grocery store prices. I highly recommend this app.
UPDATE 9.5.12: Just checked the bottle of dish liquid that I purchased on 9.21.11. Still about 1/4 full and it's been almost one year!
