Cost of toothpaste can double through the year in UK, study finds

Research discovers the cost of some healthcare products fluctuates wildly, according to time of year you buy them

New research has shown that the cost of a tube of toothpaste at some times of the year can be double its price at other times. The price of other popular health products such as Gillette razors can also double depending when they are bought.
