Toothpaste
Stocking up on some extra toothpaste can be a smart move. It has a longer shelf life than any other personal care item. If you often run out at the worst times, buying toothpaste in bulk at your favorite warehouse club may seem like an obvious choice.
However, you’ll want to compare prices before throwing that big pack into your cart the next time you’re at Sam’s Club. You’ll likely find better deals at a local drugstore, especially if you shop weekly sales or save coupons.
Remember that you’ll need to be flexible on the brand and should expect variations in the product’s size versus what’s on-hand at a warehouse club. At Costco, we saw a five-pack of 6.4oz tubes of Colgate Total SF Advanced Whitening toothpaste for $17.49.
At RiteAid, you can buy a two-pack of 6oz Colgate Cavity Protection toothpaste with fluoride for $3.79 with no purchase limit. That’s less than at Costco for practically the same amount of product.
Good luck finding a powder-based cleaning product anywhere. Most every product used to be powder years ago. Now everything is liquid in plastic bottles.
Yes, and those discounted dips and spreads are likely close to their expiration date. Buyer beware!
