De-Ice Fluid

I often use TKS de-icing fluid, through a simple pump and squirt device, to help de-ice my aircraft on a cold/frosty morning.

The TKS fluid, although effective, is rather expensive. There seem to be other deicing fluids on the market, some expressly stated to be non corrosive, and I wondered whether anyone had any recommendations for alternatives that might be used on GA aircraft.

Any other helpful deicing techniques for (outdoors parked) aircraft would be greatly appreciated too.
