My $2 sink strainer hack stopped me from wasting half a bottle of Dawn every week
I kept pouring way too much soap because my sponge was always greasy and I thought more soap would fix it, then a plumber in Tulsa mentioned the grease was just floating back up from the drain. Dropped $2 on a mesh strainer to catch the gunk and now one small squeeze does a whole sink of dishes. Anyone else notice their soap lasts way longer once the drain stops spitting grease back?

The soap use has more to do with how much you're putting on the sponge than what's coming up the drain. Most people flood the sponge because they're scrubbing cold greasy pans, and cold grease just smears around instead of lifting off. Scrape the plate into the trash first and use hot water, and a small squeeze goes way further no matter what strainer you have. The mesh catcher is still worth two bucks for keeping junk out of the pipes, but it's not the reason your Dawn is lasting longer.
