Well Costco brand is absolutely shit. Smells horrrrrible. Bought it and did my best to convince myself it wasn’t that bad I’d just finish the bottle, ended up tossing the whole thing

At Costco, I decided to get the Dawn Ultra Advanced Power, and man it knocks the socks off of grease, with just a small dollop on a sponge. While my cooking is simplistic and I wash sparingly in large batches, I don't eat out often and I've only used a 10th of the 2.66L bottle in 2 months.

If you don't use a sponge then I think any dishsoap will do, so long as you can tolerate the smell.
