Macleans Toothpaste.

[calda49]

Can anyone tell me please, why one can no longer buy Macleans toohpaste in shops? I have been to all the big supermarkets , Boots and smaller local chemists, none to be had. I have been been using it since childhood,(a long,long time ago!).I now rely on the internet to purchase it. I do not understand why.

Tesco has it, £1.20, same at Sainsbury's

Tesco, Sainsbury's & Morrisons all stock it.

Others might as well...

Trolley.co.uk, which is usually reliable, is showing Macleans Frsh Mint toothpaste as being available in both Sainsbury's and Tesco, at £1.20, and (in a slightly larger size) in Savers at £1.25.

You can search for your nearest branch of Savers here:
https://www.savers.co.uk/store-finder#search-stores

However the website of the manufacturer, Haleon, doesn't list Macleans among its leading brands:
https://www.haleon.com/our-brands
So it's possible that they've discontinued the product.

Try using this web form to get definitive info from Haleon

or give them a call on 01932 95 95 00. (Lines are open Mon-Fri from 08:00 to 17:00).

Given the retail price, I'd guess it's one of those products that is no longer fashionable...so it's no longer advertised, and no longer stocked widely. It's always a bad sign when brands get sold on, then sold on again...they usually end up disappearing completely!

I regularly buy Macleans toothpaste from eBay or Amazon. Works out about £8 for 4 tubes. I don't go out to physical shops so don't know if it's for sale in those.

I would also look in shops like B&M and the pound shops

^^^ It's not listed on the B&M website, Barry (even though other products from Haleon are):

I like the whitening one. They're sold in Tescos.

[calda49]

Thank you all for your answers, it must be my local area,(wolverhampton). It is not in Tesco, Morrisons or Sainsbury round here, although I do not do internet shopping through them.

[Barsel]

Thank you jno, it's the first time it's done that for me.

calda49. I only shop online at Tesco these days, but have never had a problem getting it from Tesco online.
