@nick_appleyard 's picture of the prices of #toothpaste in #Tesco (boosted earlier) is a reminder of another long-standing top tip:
It is nowadays the "Clubcard prices" in Tesco that usually have parity with other shops. Here, it is only the "Clubcard price" that passes through a promotion that apparently Colgate-Palmolive is running, and that other shops give to all customers.

So never forget your #TescoClubcard when shopping at Tesco.
And if you do not have a Clubcard, or forget/do not use it, you might be paying well over the odds compared to shopping elsewhere.
And yes, this is a major retailer only giving you competitive prices if you agree to it tracking your purchases.
You jest, but actually they do go to another supermarket.
The #Colgate Total Active Prevention XL there is a 125ml tube, not a 75ml one.
In Boots, it's currently on sale at £3.50 down from a regular price of £7.00. The same is true in Morrison's. In Sainsbury's and Waitrose, it's currently still £7.00 per tube. Superdrug has a reduction from (gasp!) £6.99 to £3.49.

Colgate-Palmolive appears to be running a promotion.
And #Tesco is making the promotional price only available to #TescoClubcard members, whereas in other stores (aside from the ones apparently not participating in the promotion at all) everyone pays the promotional price.
...every time i hear someone say "blood is thicker than water" i think, so is #toothpaste...and then i remember they are quoting it wrong;
"the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb" ...is the actual quote and implies that shared lived experiences is stronger than birth ties...(which is the exact opposite than their incomplete #cliché infers)
Amazon and major brands donate 200,000 hygiene essentials to Swansea Multibank
The products — including toothpaste, soap, deodorant and laundry detergent from names such as Colgate, Johnson & Johnson, Neutrogena, Sanex and Palmolive — will be channelled through the Swansea‑based Multibank, run by charity Faith in Families, to support households struggling with the cost of living.
Local distribution from Swansea
The donations are being coordinated with support from Amazon’s Swansea Bay fulfilment centre, which is working with supplier partners to deliver the items. Families referred to the Cwtch Mawr Multibank will receive the products free of charge.
Research commissioned earlier this year found that nearly one in four adults in Wales worry about paying for basic hygiene products, while 14% have already cut back or gone without.
What it means for families
Cherrie Bija, Chief Executive of Faith in Families, said:
“We work with organisations supporting some of the most vulnerable people who find themselves in desperate need, often through no fault of their own. The products we receive through the Multibank and Amazon partnership make a huge difference — whether that’s having toothpaste to clean children’s teeth or blankets to stay warm.”
National network, local impact
The Cwtch Mawr Multibank is part of a UK‑wide network co‑founded by former Prime Minister Gordon Brown and Amazon. Since 2022, Multibanks have provided more than 12 million essential items to over 800,000 families nationwide.
The current campaign runs until 12 November, with every two qualifying products purchased on Amazon.co.uk triggering a third item donated to the Multibank at no extra cost to customers.
Amazon’s view
Eugenie Teasley, Head of Impact at Amazon UK, said:
“As winter draws closer and families face increasingly difficult times, we wanted to team up once again with our partners in support of The Multibank in Wales and across the UK. The You buy. We donate campaign offers Amazon customers the opportunity to make a huge difference to the lives of families in need while buying their everyday essential items.”

Does anyone else use cinnamon toothpaste? For the last 15 years I have and my wife finds it bizarre. Personally I hate the after taste of the minty toothpastes.
