    i would love to stock up on those, but £70 is a bit steep, does anyone have a recomendation for a cheaper one at all please?

    I may be missing the point a bit here but with the rechargeable toothbrushes you don't need a stock of them,it's not like everyone needs their own handle its just separate heads that are needed.(so really it's just a case of looking out for heads when they are on offer)

    When you buy the initial brush it usually comes with some spare heads,sometimes 2 sometimes 4 ....thats usually enough for everyone to have their own head.
    We don't have a oral B at home,but have a colgate pro with 3 heads so each of us has our own brush but we use the collective handle.

    DS has a Oral B which is something fancy for when he's at Uni but only because we were sent it to trial last year.
    frugal October...£41.82 of £40 food shopping spend for the 2 of us!

    no sorry i should explain that better,

    by stock up i mean i would need 8 as there are six of us here and two part time, so i wouldnt need a stash so to speak but more of, to get one each would be £70x8=too much t spend on a toothbrush

    not everyone is here every day, a handle each would be the easiest way (or i could just get them cheap ones for when there not here)

    sorry my explaining was rubbish

    In that case you need 1 brush and 8 heads.

    Virgin train east coast offering 500 points on my nectar app. Book by May 3rd for travel between june 1st and august 25

    No minimum spend :cool:




    Why is it always a battle to your points, just had to contact Nectar re missing bonus points from their virgin birthday promo.


    I've asked why are the points never awarded automatically? :mad:
