A huge thank you to Crest and CVS

I really wanted to say, “Thank You” to Crest for finally giving the consumer a better than status Quo. For me to say this takes just a very little effort. As a former smoker, dipper and coffee drinker you can bet your sweet bippy that my teeth might be a little discolored. 20 years in the US Army can have such a negative effect on your teeth and the white color they are supposed to have.

Here is exactly what I have recently found:

The new Crest Pro-Health series actually, without having to but the expensive whitening strips, does a damn good job.

So far I have tried the Pro-Health nighttime toothpaste and it is a little gritty. Hold on; let me qualify that a little. Your teeth are pretty solid and the best way to clean a solid surface is usually with a light abrasive compound. This makes total sense to me. So, I say gritty, but really it’s just an abrasive that, OMG, removes the gunk that forms on your teeth normally. How crazy is that? And the rinse seems to be really doing the job it is supposed to. I have found that the best sequence for me is: floss, brush and rinse.

At the same time, I want to thank CVS for the great deals they have had on these products. Through Saturday, August 28th, if you have the $1/1 Crest coupons from the last P&G insert, they end up being damn near free. You pay $2.50 and get a $2.50 ECB. And you can do the deal 10 times with either the Crest Pro-Health Clinical Gum Protection toothpaste or the Crest Pro-Health Glide floss. If you don’t have any Extra Care Bucks to start with you have to pay a little out of pocket the first time around, but each transaction following will cost you about $.20 each if you roll the ECB’s.

This was my last CVS shopping trip. TP was the big thing, however, with the $5/$15 coupons that keep spitting out like candy it made it a little more affordable. I spent a total of $8 out of pocket. Gotta love a good deal when it comes along. If you are looking for deals, try this: afullcup.com it’s that simple.
