Is a high end electric toothbrush actually a frugal investment in the long run?
I've been rethinking my dental setup since starting Invisalign. Brushing 4-5 times a day made me realize that frugal isn't just about the lowest upfront price, it's about long term prevention and recurring costs.
I recently switched to a high frequency oscillating model, and it's been a surprise win for my budget. Unlike the major legacy brands that overcharge for $10+ replacement heads, this one's refills are a fraction of that price.
To me, spending a bit more on a solid tool now to avoid a $500 filling later feels like a smart move. Do you guys consider high performance personal care an investment in prevention, or is sticking to the basics still the most frugal way to go? #finance source
