Saw this at St Albans Coles last night, can confirm it is at other Coles.
Whilst the mouthwash and paste are smaller than usual, they are still very cheap per ml. And handy for travel packs!
Coles: Colgate Toothbrush, Mouthwash, Toothpaste $1 EACH!

whats wrong with st albans???
Nothing compared to Sunshine.
nothing - compared to dallas and jacana…
Nothing compared to Parramatta
Lol Parramatta has moved up the class stratum. Try Punchbowl or Penrith as the point of comparison to those..
nothing compared to m'ville, i remember reading in the papers that its the suburb where ppl get rolled over the most :)
i doubt many from the broady area would even use a toothbrush
Wow, you got a +ve from jv. Must be a good deal!
One of this front tooth has more net worth than my entire lifetime savings + possessions I own.
How great we live in a free world.
So…your entire net worth is less than one clean tooth? WTF?
@Captain Obvious being captain obvious.
Pyrmont Coles does have the same deal & stock !! Got plenty for myself!!
Coles is also having mangoes on sale $1.6 ea, bought heaps and they are BIG and SWEEEEEET! :P
Mmm big sweet mangoes… Are you thinking what I'm thinking B1?
I think you were meant to say…..
I think I am B2!!!! Its Mango Time!!!!!!!
go to flemington, close to 2 pm, make sure you enter the market before 2 pm, most of them selling between $5 (juice quality) - $20 / tray of mangoes, it depend on the size of the mangoes as well from 16 mangoes to 8 mangoes / tray
sounds nice but i live in the city so it's too far for me….
Is that sarcasm? Flemington is like fifteen minutes from the city
He's in Sydney lol
What sizes?
who cares, they're only $1…
Me.
well the brushes are normal sizes, yet simple. definitely don't need anything fancy imo.
the mouthwash is 250ml, so it will still last you weeks, for $1, thats a bargain.
Dammit. Just bought a 6-pack of Colgate toothbrushes last weekend for $11 from Coles.
well just buy another 6 now and average out your losses…
jv is on a row in dental threads :D
What size toothpaste?
The toothpaste is 80g or 90g, depending on type. This special is very good for a supermarket, but the Reject Shop's normal daily offer beats it.
130g Colgate toothpaste (direct import from Vietnam) for $1 and $1 Colgate toothbrushes (direct from China). Both products are identical to their more expensive official import versions.
I guess they should be identical, but how do you know for sure?
Comparing the ingredients list, looking at the key ingredients (all the same). Same taste and texture. No Colgate toothpaste is made in Australia any more (it's mostly sourced from Thailand) so it's not even a choice between imported or local.
Really? I use different Colgate around the world and often notice variations in taste/texture/foaming, though this could be due to the variations in quality/hardness/impurities of the local water supplies. Personal preference is for the AU stuff..
Ingredients may be the same, but concentrations might be different.
Toothpaste is very cheap to make. It's mostly a carbonate, water, a foaming agent and something like sorbitol to bind it all together. Silica is added to make it slightly abrasive. Saccharin and flavouring to make it palatable. The fluoride content may vary slightly due to legislation. Flavouring agents may vary between countries due to local preferences. The Colgate toothpaste I used in India was a bit stronger than here, for example. But overall toothpaste does the same thing the world over and the differences are not efficacy based.
We're being taken for a ride in Australia by paying the usual ~$3 per 110g tube at our supermarkets.
Regardless of where Colgate is made - the profits ultimately end up in the pockets of Colgate-Palmolive, an American multinational. For something so simple, can't we make it ourselves and keep the cash in Oz? Perhaps we should rename this site 'unOZBargain'? ;)
dare you buy somthing will go into your mouth from China? People out there do try to buy those stuffs from Hong Kong whenever they can. Ask you local Chinese community and you get the picture.

The only genuine Australian Made & Owned widely distributed toothpaste I can find these days is the CEDEL brand.

Look for it on the very bottom shelf, pushed aside by the big multinationals (that pay the supermarkets for prime shelf position).
The mouthwash is 250ml.
The toothpaste sounds like a good size to take in carry-on baggage when traveling, the mouth wash is too large though. This is for the US at least.
Although domestic travel within Australia has no restrictions.
true, I'm thinking more international, particularly as my girlfriend is traveling to Seth Efrica next month :-). Best going-away present ever - toothpaste.
does she have bad breath ?
Generally no, but considering the flight time to and from SA, everyone else would probably appreciate her taking toothpaste…
most int. airlines usually provide complimentary toothbrush, paste and mouthwash…
Ha, not United Airlines! Better to be safe than sorry, plus it's cheap and you can use it at the hotel etc as well.
I think you will be sending out the wrong message, "going out and put something in your mouth, as long as you remember to brush your teeth afterwards"
None at Coles Richmond swan st VIC.
Can confirm Coles at Barkly Square - Brunswick East VIC
None at coles Auburn
plenty at coles The Gap Village. I got a nice haul
Loads and loads at both Lalor (Vic) stores as well as Plenty Valley.
Woah, haven't seen you in ages. Last I heard you were off to marry jv or someone (can't remember lol). welcome back..
EDIT: it was bargaincrypt from LTS: http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/41720#comment-421389
Dunno why I thought jv haha poor you!
It was sold out at Coles Broadway (NSW) but also in the same shopping centre is a Bilo which had heaps and heaps of it. It turns out Bilo has exactly the same specials as Coles every week. What baffles me is why there is a coles and bilo in the same shopping centre then if there's no real difference shopping at either!?!?!
and you're still alive to talk about it… that deserves a +ve…
