Pasting important info down below, from Gears...
Be careful which you pick - Non-Chlorinated is FLAMMABLE, where is the old-school Chlorinated is NOT.
It's also worth noting that Chlorinated is substantially more TOXIC than non-chlorinated.
The 19oz shows $4.98 in my area, very much normal price. But more importantly, the 19oz is uniquely NON-FLAMMABLE. Coming from a mechanic, it is always good to have some of this on-hand for that one questionable scenario you may run into. Cleaning oil leaks by hot exhaust manifolds, using it nearby a pilot light or kerosine heater, or when you're in denial anything will happen with your lit cigarette to name a few. A bonus is that the CRC works better than 99% of the brake cleaners out there and also works spraying with the can upside-down almost every time if needed.

Just keep the cheap flammable stuff too in case you need to torch that freakishly large spider...

Not hating on the brand, just stating facts. Yes, I know Walmart doesn't manufacture their chemicals (their oil made by Highline-Warren for example), but they do outsource to the lowest bidder.
If anyone is curious what I use/like due to heavy usage, the CRC 19oz non-flammable is the second best overall IMO (best non-flammable). Third best is AutoZone's Shop Pro (what I use most - value winner via commercial discounts, but terrible when spraying any way but upright). Top performer I've ever used is Mopar's brake cleaner, but I just can't justify the cost. No I'm not a Mopar fan.

If you really need it clean, chlorinated is the way to go. It's also non-flammable and great for removing grease stains on clothes (perc is what they use for dry cleaning). Just make sure you aren't near plastics, rubber, aren't planning on welding, and have a TON of ventilation, as it is dangerous to your health.
