I never pay for oral care items such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, floss, and mouthwash. The reason is, at least one drugstore every week has one or more of these items on sale and matched with a coupon, you can usually get it for free or sometimes even make money after the reward. Check out a recent trip to Rite Aid where I got all different kinds of oral care products for free:
