you can buy the cheap toothpaste, shampoo etc in the dollar discounts or Reject shops here in Australia. They look real, have labels such as Colgate, Sunsilk, L'Oreal etc.but if you look closely they are manufactured in Arabic or Asian countries.
You can buy them here for under $2.00, I got L'Oreal facial wipes that sell in genuine stores for $7.99, for $1.50 at a $2.00 shop. But they are not nice.
It's not really worth it.
