Why have tooth brushes become so expensive?


Question:
The technology hasn't changed. It's still just bristles and a plastic handle. But now when I go to the store, I can't see one for less than two bucks. Some of them are almost five bucks a pop. Can someone explain the price hike?

Answers:
It's where you shop. The exact same toothbrushes can be purchased for $1 at:

Dollar General
Family Dollar
Dollar Tree
99 Cents Store
Everything's a Dollar
Walmart
and many more

At some of these stores you can buy a package of 4 for $1.
its a neccesity

people want good toothbrushes bc they think that it will make ur teeth and mouth health alot better.

its also a supply and demand thing

people will always need toothbrushes...so why not raise the prices for some extra cash?
The main reason is the amount of rubber used in them, chances are it is a synthetic type of rubber that comes from like gas products. You know gas is higher. Also the cost of shipping them has gone up due to gas and then there is the demand for tooth brushes. I mean who do you know that does not use one every day. So that would be why I think they have gone up.
Everything gets more expensive with the progression of time. Fuel, milk, sugar, water, TV, cars, houses, etc. Inflation is not limited to anything, unfortunately. Also, there is more research now than ever going into the oral hygiene field. We pay for that research every time we buy an oral hygiene product.
