Dollar store is usually too expensive for me and I like firm toothbrushes, still have a stash of Reach and Tek firms but was thinking of topping off the reserves, the Teks I have were .36 each and now can’t hardly find it for less than $1, I was buying the Reach 7 packs at Walmart for $3.97 and they’re $6.44 now, dangit I gotta make this stash last

I'm still working through my stash of .50 electric ones lol. And that's after selling a bunch.

Seriously folks - after christmas they clearance ALL that stuff. Those fancy disney power toothbrushes, the body sets, the razors - everything. Watch the couponing blogs or the walmart clearance ones and you'll find when they drop. Then go clean up.

I recently laid in a supply of Colgate and Oral-B toothbrushes.


And


And I bought 50 of the little Crest toothpaste tubes like they hand out at the dentist:


You'd think the little tubes would be, on a per-ounce basis, quite pricey. But they contain .85 ounces. I figured they were close in price on a per-ounce basis plus they would serve as barter goods (that's why the extra toothbrushes) plus if I have family with me, they're a way to portion out toothpaste.

I paid $26 for 50 of them on January 25th. Now, they're $29.99.

If you want options on toothbrushes in bulk, just search on Amazon, "bulk toothbrushes." As barter items, or for yourself, you can find pretty good prices per toothbrush.

Such as this:


or this (100 toothbrushes for $29.99):

Someone gave my school a PILE of toothbrushes for the health teacher to distribute. He didn’t, so now I have a box of about 200.

I like it firm. But my dentist told me my last two cavities along the gum line were from using too firm of a brush.
So now I’m a medium firm guy.
I’ve heard that happens as you get older….😩

We've got Bin City!! Overstocks, factory 2nds, damaged packages, returns....
Not just foreign brands, we got Oral B brushes there, 3 to a pack $1, we bought 10 a couple months ago. That probably brings the total in preps to around 50.
They have tons of trial-size everything, mix and match, usually 6/$1
If you don't have a place like that near you, it's worth the drive to load up a couple times a year.
