I've hesitated trying anything different, but loathe paying the super high prices (even when buying in bulk at Costco) for these blades.
PeterB mentioned about 3 years ago the trick of sharpening the blades on a pair of jeans:

It's also been mentioned multiple times on various sites (Gizmodo, Lifehacker, etc.):

I've been doing this for the past couple of months and have been able to extend the life of my blades from about one week to about 3 weeks using one technique (though not the one I just found at the Giz link above - I will try that technique and see if I can get them to last even longer).
