I once put a date of my toothpaste to see how long it lasted, just so I would need to know when I would need to buy another, I got almost 5 months out of it, not sure what size tube it was but fairly standard. I am still in the UK and when I see reduced stickers I am still buying them.<br />Regards<br />Melinda (from SE Qld Australia)opshophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02716048041672542034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-9051462314884100712019-09-05T02:52:52.552+01:002019-09-05T02:52:52.552+01:00I need to thank you Ilona. 8 years ago i started m...I need to thank you Ilona. 8 years ago i started my frugal journey.
