Product Review Sensitivity Toothpaste Comparison - Sensodyne Pronamel vs Sensitive from Dollar Tree

Image
Everyone uses toothpaste of some kind (at least I hope so) and most people have a preference. I thought, what would it hurt to try the Dollar Tree brand of sensitive toothpaste and if it worked I would save a few dollars a month on toothpaste.  I bought the Sensitive Extreme (SE) from the Dollar Tree and the Sensodyne Pronamel Repair (SPR) from Walmart. Here are my thoughts: Consistency : the SE toothpaste was a little runny in consistency compared to SPR. Taste : the SE tasted funky and not like a toothpaste should taste. The SPR has a pleasant minty taste. Whitens : I’m not so sure SE whitens like it states, I only used it for a couple of weeks. And did not notice a difference.

Sensitivity : My sensitivity to cold came back in a day or two after using SE where as the SPR helps with the sensitivity issue. Price : Obviously the SE toothpaste is $1 and the SPR runs around $6.  Is it worth spen

Good Egg or Bad Egg? That is the question!

Image
***UPDATED 6/18/23*** Due to not shopping as much, I found I have sell-by dates on my eggs to be 2 weeks old. Okay, so there is a way to find out if the egg is okay to eat! This method has always worked for me so you try it the next time you are wondering if the egg is good or bad! Each egg should be tested individually out of the carton. A glass of water and an egg is all you need for this! See where mine landed in a cup of water... Hard to see in this pic but it was standing on the end which means -- use soon!  Hope this helps you to determine if the eggs are good or bad.  Do you have a helpful tip on determining if an egg is bad or good?
