Get $1 off any Colgate Total toothpaste when you present this coupon. The coupon is valid for one transaction only at Woolworths / Safeway supermarkets between January 30 and May 28.

It says it must be surrendered at the point of purchase and only 1 offer per coupon, but with that in mind it looked to me that this is a standard issue coupon in the Colgate sample bag my dentist gave me and not a unique one (they had plenty of bags). I thought some of you might like to print it off and use it since it doesn't mention about having to use the original, and you can always use the self-scan checkout where you won't be asked to surrender it.

This is my first time posting a deal, so I hope those caveats are ok. Apologies if this is no good.

    Colgate Total is on special for $2 at Woolies at the moment, too, so you can get the standard-size 110g tube for only $1 (usually $3.14). Good deal!

      Can someone confirm if they have used this successfully?

      It would be great to combine this with this deal :)

  • BuyNow Think Later on 21/02/2013 - 11:53

    Save the coupon barcode page to your phone and scan it for multiple tubes at the self-scan checkout counters. Save on printing and no need to surrender the 'coupon' as you will not surrender your phone LOL.

    • rekabkram on 21/02/2013 - 12:27

      Does this work? I've always wanted to try it but I've been too concerned about being stuck at the checkout without the coupon.

      I might have to print this out and store it on my phone and give this a test.

      • BuyNow Think Later on 21/02/2013 - 14:17

        I'll give it a try later today and post back my result tomorrow.

        • [Deactivated] on 21/02/2013 - 14:24

          From my understanding, the barcode scanning technology Woolworths uses cannot read mobile phone screens, so you're going to need a physical print out.

      • voter1 on 21/02/2013 - 18:39

        it works but it takes forever to scan on my phone as you have to get the angle just right (im running 4" LCD android phone)

      • BuyNow Think Later on 22/02/2013 - 00:03

        Unfortunately, it didn't work for me at the self-scan checkout. A Woolies staff was looking at me so I only gave it a couple of tries without success.

        • rekabkram on 22/02/2013 - 00:38

          I tried it tonight as well, gave it a good go but it didn't work at all. Then I used the print out that I had, scanned it 10 times in one transaction and didn't have an issue with doing them all in one go.
          So if you do it that way then atleast you only need one print out.

          the way i got it to work was to zoom the barcode so its covering basically the entire screen and then moving it slowly from the bottom of the scanner to the top.
          Yes I got dirty looks from the woolies person too but hey Im an ozbargainer!

      It also contains Dihydrogen Monoxide, also known as Dihydrogen Oxide, Hydrogen Hydroxide, Hydronium Hydroxide, or simply Hydric acid. This stuff is deadly and is responsible for countless deaths worldwide every year. http://www.dhmo.org/ I'm sure you'd agree that this substance is poison too and should be avoided at all costs!

      So what about the fluoride that occurs naturally in drinking water all around the world? Not only do the people drinking this water not drop dead from fluoride poisoning but they also have far less cavities then those who don't have it in their water.

    • surethang on 22/02/2013 - 13:49

      Hmmm, I contain sodium fluoride. So I must be poisonous. Avoid me. Spread the word.

      My avatar proves this irrefutably!

      But seriously… to die from sodium fluoride poisoning, you would have to eat 16 to 32 tubes of toothpaste in one sitting. That's actually swallow the stuff, not just swish it around in your mouth and spit it back out. Don't try this at home kids.

      (Toothpaste contains about 3 mg of sodium fluoride per gm of paste. So a 100gm tube of toothpaste has 0.3 gm of sodium fluoride. The lethal poisoning dose of sodium fluoride for an adult is 5 to 10 grams.)

  • rawm on 22/02/2013 - 07:02

    Has anyone tried to use this barcode on multiple purchases, or will it only work for the first toothpaste scanned?

    Guys

    I used to rush and buy Colgate when it was $2 or so, thinking i grabbed a bargain..
    looking closer on the back, they're from Thailand…A place where OH&S and product regulation hardly exists.
    You could be brushing your teeth with sugar and some mint flavor…

    So do yourself a favour, stop buying that rubbish, send it back to those countries and keep buying Australian and Euro toothpastes
    yes Sensodyne could be extra $4-5, but it's way cheaper than a $700.00 tooth clean at a dentist

    • rawm on 22/02/2013 - 10:09

      Cmon mate, take off your tin foil hat. Im sure Colgate-Palmolive (Owners) would have some pretty stringent product regulation in its factories around the world. I know I'd rather it be made locally or in Europe (Coles brand toothpaste is made in the UK if my memory serves me correctly) but im sure this product (at this price point) is going to do the job well.

      To say that this toothpaste is sugar+mint is pretty far from the tooth.

      • frostman on 22/02/2013 - 10:21

        So rawm, tell me…where does the profit lie, when Woolies or Coles sell those Thai Colgate Pastes for $1 or $2 which keep in mind, includes shipping from Thailand, taxes, and service rates?

        While Colgate-Palmolive have their product regulations, the regulations are only governed and enforced by the country's own.

        Why would importing a product 1,000km away and packing it and unpacking it, be cheaper than selling the locally made product down the road?

        Because Australia pay for strict regulators and compliance officers to thoroughly inspect the products to confirm to standards…over there they dont. Hence while you think you bought a bargain at $1… you're really doing nothing to your teeth.

        • rekabkram on 22/02/2013 - 11:15

          That's not true.

          The reason for a price hike in Australian made products are the following.

          • Delivery costs are more expensive, so getting the ingredients costs a bit more.
          • Australians get paid a lot more than people in Taiwan.
          • Rent/Factory prices are a lot more in Australia.
          • Australian working conditions are better for things like overtime, superannuation and workcover.

          These aren't the only reasons there are many more. But I don't think it's fair to try and say it costs more just because in Australia we would hire quality control workers.

        • rawm on 22/02/2013 - 11:24

          'While Colgate-Palmolive have their product regulations, the regulations are only governed and enforced by the country's own.'

          Haha, surely your'e kidding.

          A company with a Global brand as important as Colgate would have in place the right people/procedures to ensure the quality and safety of their products are 100%, no matter which country.

          What your saying about Thailand having an inferior product regulations MAY be the case for locally made/sold products (like fast food, market place items) but to link this to one of the most powerful brands in the world such as Colgate is just narrow minded.

        • frostman on 22/02/2013 - 12:17
          -1

          Colgate have a policy, but they cannot increase the quality of ingredients "USED" to make their final product.

          Suppose you ate KFC in Australian, and KFC in Thailand.
          While they both use the same procedure to prepare and cook the chicken, the actualy ingredient, the chicken, in this case… is not the same as those raised in Australia
          KFC cannot force Thai chicken farms to better look after their chickens, and reduce cruelty etc - because thats a LOCAL ingredient. you fail to understand that

          Similarly, toothpaste, the ingredients used inside (mainly chemicals) are not the same as those produced here..

          =====================

          and REKABRAM you said:

          The reason for a price hike in Australian made products are the following.

          Delivery costs are more expensive, so getting the ingredients costs a bit more.
Australians get paid a lot more than people in Taiwan.
Rent/Factory prices are a lot more in Australia.
Australian working conditions are better for things like overtime, superannuation and workcover.

          Dude, you just proved my answer in the best way possible…combine ALL the above points and you get a BETTER END PRODUCT

          Remove all the above Points, and you get CRAP PRODUCTS

          End of story.

        • rekabkram on 22/02/2013 - 12:37

          More expensive does not equal better I was simply pointing out that it isn't solely because of quality control that it is cheaper like you said above.

          Also I love it when people say 'end of story' and that makes them right in their opinion.

          On that note - VHS has far better sound and video quality than Blu Ray, end of story.

        • frostman on 22/02/2013 - 12:45

          You're really hard to debate with, because you dont get the full picture

          "More expensive does not equal better "

          I never mentioned that, My post was relating to:

          Products, cheaper, made in developing countries are
          INFERIOR to the same products made in a developed country. therefore, the savings on the cheaper brand are not worth it when it comes to one's own health

          That statement above is basically a summary of the 7+ articles. and i find it very hard for someone to disagree.

          When it comes to single product items like; Jeans. I totally agree on the markup placed by those made in Europe when it's just cotton and your saving on labour.

          But focus here, for consumables, and health-related items, its not worth it.
          hence, back to my very first topic, not worth the Colgate Savings of buying it for $1 on the risk of your teeth not getting a better product.

        • rawm on 22/02/2013 - 12:50
          +1

          It's all about 'perceived' value - We're talking about toothpaste here, not consumable chicken - two VERY different products. This is taken from wikipedia: In addition to 20-42% water, toothpastes are derived from a variety of components, including three main ones: abrasives, fluoride, and detergents.

          Its not likely that the effectiveness or quality of Australian based toothpaste components and Colgate-Palmolive Thailand based toothpaste components will be any different. The major cost difference between an Australian made tube and a Thai one is the cost of labour.

          There are just so many other factors (diet, smoking, choice of brush) affecting oral health that toothpaste choice isnt all that important IMHO. Let's agree to disagree. You go buy your $6.00 Sensodyne, I'll buy my $1.00 Colgate and we'll live happily ever after.

        • frostman on 22/02/2013 - 12:56

          "You go buy your $6.00 Sensodyne, I'll buy my $1.00 Colgate and we'll live happily ever after."

          Sure, except 10yrs later, when you're at the dentist getting a full scrub and whitening, you'll remember "the dude from ozbargain" about choosing your paste =D

  • cdeep0 on 22/02/2013 - 14:18

    great deal…..abt time to brush cheaply.

  • Pinchy on 22/02/2013 - 20:08

    Very good indeed considering they are on special at the moment at woolworths for $2. So this makes the toothpaste dollar.
    Combined with the movie deal that's being offered that would equal 2 tubes of toothpaste and a movie ticket for $2. :)

  • treeman on 18/03/2013 - 17:28

    Anybody actually got this to work with specials?

    • vipulrm on 18/03/2013 - 19:12

      Yes, I did. But that was during the first week that this coupon was out. I haven't used in lately, so not sure if anything has changed.
