I swore the $1 store cleaning spray was just water until my sister pointed out the label

For two years I bought the $9 bottle of bathroom spray at Target because I figured the cheap stuff was a scam. My sister was visiting last month and picked up the dollar store version, and she flipped it over and read the back to me. Same active ingredient, same 0.05% concentration, just a different label and a weaker scent. I stood there in my own kitchen feeling like a chump. I pulled my receipt app and added it up, about $110 a year on something that was barely different. Now I keep the cheap one under the sink and nobody in this house has noticed a thing. The one thing I will say is the dollar store scent is a little stronger at first, so I crack the window for a few. Has anyone found a cheap refill that smells less like a hotel lobby?
