Dentifrice

I am a marathon shopper at the 99¢ Only Store. Unfortunately, the consumer doesn't have much control over what goes on the shelf (let alone what stays there for his/her purchase and/or later consumption). One of my favorite products was PEPSODENT. It was one of the low priced brands sold at the store, but the only one that was made in the USA. May sound a bit fussy to others, but I am selective about quality control of consumer goods that aren't manufactured in my country. Items that contain water are especially worrisome to me.
So I looked online, and I discovered that I could get Pepsodent from Walgreens drug store, but I'd have to buy it online.
I tend to shy away from consuming online. I realize that there are more Amazon Prime people than not these days. I have opted out and I don't feel as if I am experiencing the pinch in any way, shape, or form. This online drug store purchase also came with a minimum purchase price in order for the package to be delivered free of charge. So, I looked around for some 99¢ bars of soap (limited quantities per order) and wound up buying 10 tubes of toothpaste.
Even for a person who averages 6 tooth brushings per day--no, I'm not OCD; I simply brush before and after meals--that's a lot of dentifrice to be stocking in the cupboard. Oh well, it's at lease something that doesn't have a worrisome expiration date, like cottage cheese.
Having favorite products removed from the shelves without a word is most disturbing to this aging hippie!
