Toothpaste
Ok, I've been meaning to write this for some time now, I just haven't seemed to manage to find the time.
I grew up using Crest Toothpaste. When the hubster and I got together, he was a Colgate guy. In the interest of saving $, as I was a SAHW I went ahead and just started using Colgate. No need to buy 2 different kinds of toothpaste. Toothpaste is Toothpaste, right?
This went on for years until I was PG with Johanna and I couldn't STAND Colgate. In fact I ended up using Crest Kids Toothpaste, cause it was the only thing that didn't make me nauseated.
Afterwards, I went back to Colgate. Until I got PG with Ava. Then I just wanted to use Crest. Of course I could barely stand to brush my teeth with her either.
So A while back, I bought the hubster a 4pk of Colgate at Sams Club. Later that week I was in WM and they had it for $1/tube. You could buy 5. I had a coupon. So now we are at 9 tubes for him. At the same time, I bought myself a 2 pack of Crest.
I can't remember excatly when all this was, but I can tell you that since then, The hubster has gone through the 4 pack I bought at Sam's Club, and I am STILL using the same tube of Crest.
HTH can he go through 4 tubes when I haven't even gotten through ONE? I'm not brushing any less. There's the same amount in each tube? Is he just a wasteful slob? Probably!
I'd also like to add, that I enjoy having different colored toothpaste than he does. It is now GLARING obvious which one of us is spitting all over the sink/faucet/counter when we brush, and I will give you a hint here, it's NOT me! LOL He used to try and say how did I KNOW it was him. Well now I know, and he can't dispute it! Muahahahahahahaha
Anyway, that's my Toothpaste story. LOL
Do you guys have a brand you like better than the other? Is it the same one your spouse prefers? Is it the kind you used as a kid?

Bahahaha, we both use Crest, but different flavors.
That is hilarious! (Especially the evidence part!) We both used crest when we first started out but have switched many times in 15 years! Now we are both happy using Close-Up. We've been with it a few years now. Hmmm...does that mean we need a change? I don't think so.
Not sure whether you have the brand Darlie, which was formerly known as Darkie! Changed for obvious reasons! Both me and my wife use that!
Very interesting observation! Sounds like your husband is using a lot of toothpaste! I'm sure I'm the wasteful one here. DH and I are both happy with Colgate Total. I'd probably try anything but the non-gel type Crest (blech!), but all in all he's the more picky of the two of us.
Has anyone else noticed both Crest and Colgate from Sam's Club are "watered-down"? It definately is not the same toothpastes I grew up with.
