You can get a pound of citric acid for that, and most of those DW cleaners only have about 3 - 4oz of citric acid in 'em. Way cheaper still if you buy in bulk. You're right, DW cleaners aren't terribly expensive if you only look at the $4 price tag. When you compare 7 of those with the ~50 uses you get for the same price by RYO'ing, then maybe it seems kinda pricey....
We flush ours about every 3 ~ 4 weeks, and for whatever reason (we cook a lot), we run the DW ~5x weekly.
10lb bag is good for 3 years.

Honestly, if a four dollar bottle doesn’t work, probably time to re-invest some money into a new dishwasher, anyway.
Might also want to check the inlet valve. It may not be letting in enough water to wash the dishes. I had one fell on one of my dishwashers and replacing it made a world of difference.
