What they recommend

“Almost every major grocery, pharmacy, and department chain has a "store brand" equivalent to Colgate”
Gemini · 2026-07-23 · Toothpaste
“Store brands (Walmart's Equate, Target's Up & Up, CVS Health, Walgreens brand, etc.) typically contain the same active fluoride ingredient as name brands”
Claude · 2026-07-23 · Toothpaste
“Store-brand/generic toothpaste (e.g., Walmart's Equate, Target's Up & Up, CVS/Walgreens brand) are often made by the same manufacturers as name brands, just without the marketing costs”
Claude · 2026-07-23 · Toothpaste

“These are comparable generics, but normally only beat Equate when they're on sale, have digital coupons, or offer a store promotion”
ChatGPT · 2026-07-23 · Toothpaste
