Looky-likey Listerine!

Hubby uses Listerine mouthwash. Does anyone know if they there are any store name brands that use the same formulation? It would save me a lot of money if there was.

    I tried the superdrug mouth wash (half-the price of listerine) and it tasted awful. Had to throw it away...

    Save your money and use warm salty water instead. More effective, much cheaper, and bugs have yet to develop a resistance to salt! Also contains no alcohol which is an undesirable component in most mouthwashes.

    I've managed to move my hubby from Listerine to Asda own brand to Tesco value over a few months.

    I explained the facts of life about our finances (which he knows anyway) , tried the own brand which he was happy to use and then move to the value product which is virtually the same formulation as the own brand.

    Some things need to be sacrificed!

    listerine was recommended to him by his dentist to sort out a problem he was having, so I'd prefer to continue with something with the same formulation!
