Frugality Doesn't Come Cheap
I am cheap. When shopping for items such as... let's say toothpaste, I scan the prices, choosing the lowest and then looking on the shelf above to see where my brand loyalty lies this week. It normally turns out to be UltraBrite, which is just fine with me. I squeeze the tube, it oozes out and remains on the brush as it

ive been using cheapo german and austrian toothpaste for over 6 months now. my current brand is called "dr. best" and i cant read one word on the package. i like it because their toothpaste is exactly that. PASTE. i hate the gel toothpastes here, green, blue, full or sparkles and bits of mouthwash strips. bleh. give me old fashioned dr. best.

I agree about the paste. Gel is awful. Ultrabrite is a paste. And they have all the other stuff like tartar control/baking soda/peroxide/whitening. And it tastes just as good, so I don't see the difference between it and all that other glorified crap.

I would SO buy weird foreign toothpaste. That sounds like fun. :o)

when i run out of dr best and blendamed i will go for ultrbrite!!!

It's easy to find. I get it at Target and Walmart. Target only carries the whitening, but I think Walmart has the baking soda/peroxide kind.

[ihave_themoon]

which do you prefer?

I get whichever one has the most bells and whistles. If they have Baking soda/peroxide/tartar control/whitening, I get that (although I don't know that the combine all of those in one tube). :o)
