Try a dollar store or google for Colgate 3.0 oz toothpaste. Many hits. I got about 20 tubes of regular 3.0 Colgate at a dollar store months ago and I expect to have enough for years. Dollartree.com is currently selling the whitening version for a dollar a tube (which is what I paid for the regular stuff at bricks and mortar dollar tree)

Everything else that isn't a gel is easy. I just pour from the big bottle into 3.4 oz or smaller bottles. You can easily find bottles with spray applicators.

That is so cool! But at a dollar per 3 oz tube at dollar tree not much a savings except when grocery stores have specials selling 2nd tier brands of full size tubes at a dollar per tube.

Hopefully the war on liquids will end before I have to replace my hoard of 3.0 tubes.

BTW, googling shows that crest has 3.5 oz tubes. Bizarre.
