It’s 1.24/oz at Amazon with subscribe and save. No prime required to get that price + free shipping.My Costco online shows Sensodyne Pronamel Gentle Whitening Advanced (not quite the same name as what you listed) 4 pack of 6.5 oz tubes for $31.99, which is $1.23/oz. Your Amazon price of $6.98 for 3.4 oz is $2.05/oz. The best price per oz I saw on Walmart is $1.56/oz for one of the other Pronamel variations (I’m convinced Sensodyne just makes minute changes to the formulation and then renames it to see if it sells better, but I digress.) Anyway… my point is I think Costco is the best deal if you have the Executive membership and buy enough to get the annual 2% reward to cover the cost of the membership. That applies to more than just toothpasteThe thing that is addictive about Amazon Prime is that shipping is free, period, no ifs, ands, or buts. An even with free shipping, typically--not always, but typically--Amazon prices are competitive with local brick-and-mortar stores.
To pick one completely at random: "my" toothpaste is Sensodyne Pronamel Repair. The Amazon price, with free shipping, 3.4 ounces, pack of one, $6.98, free shipping, free delivery tomorrow. CVS, in stock at the local store, pick-up price, $8.79. Walmart, in stock, pickup in store $6.98. Costco: doesn't have it; I can buy a different kind of Sensodyne, but must buy four, $31.99/4 = $8 each.
I don't pretend to understand pricing. Amazon prices are not necessarily bargains, but they typically are competitive; UNLIKE e.g. InstaCart, they are not hiding a delivery charge within the "price."
