needs help on project

ok, i have one of those Crest electic brushes, here in CT they cost around $7, toothpaste is about another $3-5, and mothwash is about another $5. Now, thats for a 500ml of mouthwash, and a 6 ounce tube of toothpaste. For a traveler, that is way too much and you only need like a tenth of the amount or even less, so i went back to froogle and searched for a .85oz tubes and came up with these numbers: for $106 you can buy a box of 240 so $106/240 is about $.67 each (http://www.restockit.com/index.asp?P...p;kw=30501PG). I also went and did some research on mothwash and found that you can buy 160 1.5 oz scope bottles for $90 bringing the cost for each to about $.57(http://www.restockit.com/index.asp?P...p;kw=05112PG). And finally the brush, although i couldnt find any packages of more than 12, one is sold for about $5 on froogle. In the end, you are looking at the cost for you of about $6.24 per unit, add a 20% markup, about $7.48 or between 7 and 7.50 dollars ballpark... (and thats enough to last you for a few days)
(edit: accidentally mistyped one of the numbers that totally screwed up my calculations...)
