Of course you know what happened next. We were hooked on the toothpaste and Rembrandt stopping issuing coupons and the price went up. It’s now $7.00 a tube at CVS. Rembrandt is smaller than a conventional (and cheaper) tube of toothpaste. Yikes!
Since I don’t get canker sores from toothpaste like Husband, he used the spendy toothpaste. I switched to Colgate. It’s cheaper and rates a 3 on Environmental Working Group Skin Deep database. A three - Moderate Hazard rating and below is my guideline when using Skin Deep as my shopping guide.(Your mileage may vary.)
We’ve been going merrily along with the his and hers toothpaste for quite awhile. It sure would be nice to have a cheaper option or at least some coupons for the stuff Husband uses.

The nice thing about Tom's toothpaste is that the tubes are metal. Once you cut the plastic threads off the top, you can put the metal tube in with our household recycling. If we go with a brand in a plastic tube, like Trader Joe's or Burt's Bees I take the empty plastic tubes to Orgins for recycling (and get free samples!) I take the hard plastic toothpaste caps to Aveda for recycling.
Have you tried SLS free toothpaste? I’m looking for more options so we don’t get into a high priced toothpaste situation again. What brand of SLS free toothpaste do you like?

I didn't know i was using a SLS free toothpaste... BUt use Tom's and occasionally TJ's myself. Didn't know about the tom's tubes being metal- Thanks!
We use SLS and Fluoride free toothpaste, and I buy it, along with SLS free shampoo from vitacost . com. MUCH cheaper. They carry lots of stuff there, so it is easy to get to the free shipping level and stock my cabinet with stuff I use regularly, anyhow.
I found this post doing a Google search for SLS free toothpaste. I was shopping for Tom's of Maine toothpaste the other day and I saw that it had SLS in it. Perhaps they've changed their formula?
Sugaredbeauty - I think it depends upon the flavor. just like Floride. Some of Tom's flavors have it, some don't.
