Happy, Healthy, Clean Mouth with Colgate Total

I am a member of the Collective Bias Social Fabric Community. This shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper insights study for Collective Bias and their client.

My daughter & I headed to Walgreens on Memorial Day to pick up the items we needed to get #HappyHealthySmiles with Colgate Total.

First off I will share a bit of info about myself for those who don’t know:
1. I am very particular about my teeth brushing habits. I had braces and a palatal expander for many many of my teenage years which has made me quite anal about having not only clean teeth, but a clean mouth as well.
2. I have had one cavity my entire life, which was just last year. I got a little lackadaisical with my mouth care regimen – and I paid for it. OUCH! Having a tooth filled is not my idea of a good time!
So when I was given the opportunity to check out Colgate Total – I jumped at the opportunity. With promises of ‘improved mouth health in just 2 weeks’ I decided I would start that challenge (keep an eye out for the before & after pics on Instagram in 2 weeks: follow me here.)

As soon as we walked into the store we noticed the Colgate display. Though they had the Colgate Total toothpaste & mouthwash I was in search for a Colgate Total 360 toothbrush as well, so we headed to the back of the store (which was a good thing there were only 2 left! Definitely a popular product!)

Of course I didn’t leave with just my Colgate items – Walgreens had a lot of great Memorial Day Sales going on, and you can read more about my shopping trip & deals here.

 

Walgreens had a sale on Colgate products – 2 for $6, with the promise of $2 in Register Rewards for each 2/$6 purchase. With that in mind I purchased 2 tubes of Colgate Advance toothpaste, 2 Colgate 360 toothbrushes, 1 Colgate Total Advanced mouthwash, and some Colgate Kid’s toothpaste for my son. $18 with the promise of $6 back for future purchases seemed like a no brainer to me; But at the checkout, when I asked about the Register Rewards I was told by the Cashier, “Well nothin” printed hun” , and with the long line behind me I decided I would check when I got home. (Which as you can see in my pictures I was right. I will be making a phone call in the morning to get my $6 ‘credit’!)\

Even with the mix up, I still saved $31.42 with my Balance Rewards Card for my entire purchase (SCORE!)

 

 

 

I am very happy with my deals, and excited to use the Colgate Total. Be sure to check back in a few weeks to see my progress!!

Bad Breath

The mouth’s warm, moist conditions make it an ideal environment for these bacteria to grow. Colgate Total helps kill bacteria that live in the mouth and cause bad breath.
