When was the last time you bought a toothpaste that cost over 10 dollars.  I almost flipped out!  My mom found this really good toothpaste, Ultra white, and the brand was Crest.  She has a coupon for 2 dollars off but I still couldn't believe it.  The actual price was $11.99!  The past 18 years I have lived on this planet I have never seen something that drastic and of my mom had to buy that one.  I was at the nearest supper market called Stop and Shop, when my mom called me to pick her up some items.  One of the items was this toothpaste and I did not want to buy it with my own money at all because I thought this was ridiculous.  There are many other toothpaste from Crest that was a reasonable price but no, she wanted only that one.  One of my friends actually works at Stop and Shop and he said, "I have never even seen this toothpaste in Stop and Shop before".  He is a cashier, and that amazed me.  He has been working there for a little over a year and never came across this type of toothpaste, unless this kind was brand new.  I actually did put the money down for my mom, and of coarse she did not pay me back.  The next time I put Crest toothpaste it is going to be the one that is only 5 dollars because I believe that it does the same thing.  In this economy we should not waste our money, we have to start conserving.  Throwing away money on unnecessary items is a huge waste.
