I call fake, in a country where it is not possible to walk to a costco, one simply doesn't go to the shop just for toothpaste.
You didn't go there for a tube of toothpaste, you went there for a trunkful of toothpaste. You need to be well-stocked in case of emergencies.
It’s not that I want to stockpile, but Costco will literally sell me 6 months of toothpaste for the same price that my local shop will give me 1 month of toothpaste for. That’s just too big of a markup for me to handle.
I wonder how much toothpaste folks use. It take months for my partner and myself to go through a shared tube.
I use one to two pea sized ... Servings? I'm not sure what you call a single brushing session worth of toothpaste. Serving feels wrong, and so does dose, portions or squeeze.
I use one to two pea sized dollops of toothpaste two to three times a day. I know I should use a bit less but I can't be bothered to not overshoot a little, and too little toothpaste feels like garbage.
Depending on what I eat for lunch and if I'm home I'll brush after lunch.
I'm willing to bet the biggest difference in duration of tubes is the brand. I know some of the specialty toothpaste tubes are literally a quarter the size of my standard issue toothpaste.
It's a short trip for me, I definitely go for single items. Sometimes just for a hot dog. (Also the toothpaste is a 4 pack)
