Damn you can afford a car!
Defnitely a wheel, not necessarily a car

Nah, just gotta wait for the neighbor to go to work.
You have neighbors who can afford a car?
Did they take that toothbrush to a belt sander?
They’re just British.
Fancy pants using brand name toothpaste.
Fancy pants not using straight fluoride
You haven’t felt the struggle until you’ve taken the baking soda from the kitchen to brush your teeth with until payday. Extra points if it was a refrigerator deodorizer.
Be cautious with doing this too often though. Baking soda has the same hardness as dentin and can wear away teeth with exposed dentin even more.
I was watching the show Good Times about the struggle of poor black family. But after some episodes I felt it wasn’t realistic and the family isn’t really poor.
Can we make toothpaste tablets a thing finally ffs.
Glass jars with tablets that break under a bite and then foam like tooth paste with fluoride and shit. You can get them online.
It’s less wasteful since the jar is reusable and doesn’t contain plastic. And you don’t have to go to extremes to get the last of the paste out of the container.
Uber: I’ll pick you up in 5 minutes
Me: oh no. I don’t need a lift. Just bring a Starbucks coffee and drive over my toothpaste tube. I’ll give you 10% tip and 5 stars
I have started to cut open toothpaste tubes to scrape out the last bit and I don’t think its that ridiculous to not want to waste it
But Also… I just do it because it is very satisfying
Just get a tube squeezer
I use the back of a comb. Very satisfying
Or the side of a drawer if you have them in your bathroom.
I never got why people get so bent out of shape from people squeezing from the middle when it only takes a couple of seconds to force it all towards the nozzle.

My tube squeezer just lives on the tube, no extra clutter.
if you live in the US and are on Medicaid, you might be able to get a box of dental supplies for free. i have UniCare and they sent me an electric toothbrush, toothpaste, and floss. i’m sure other Medicaid/Medicare insurance companies offer similar, so make sure to check their websites.
my shampoo bottle is at least 1:1 water and shampoo at this point 🥴
