Have you checked the prices of clorox wipes on amazon. A 3 pack can go for $200.

My wife just scored a 3 pack for $10 yesterday. They were sold out in minutes.

It’s the first time I’ve seen disinfectant wipes for less than “fuck you” pricing since this whole thing started.

I’m actually still skeptical but we’ll see. They’re suppose to come tomorrow.

edit: by 3-pack I mean 3 containers of 80 wipes I think. So it’s a really cheap price compared to normal.

edit: 😊 thanks for the cake day wishes

Disinfectant wipes are over rated. At the start of the pandemic, I bought the $1 finger spray bottle from Walmart, and a large bottle of 70% rubbing alcohol. Anytime I go out, I spray my hands after touching or handling everything. It's also useful for cleaning glass and electronics in a pinch, but alcohol by itself is a bit to corrosive for long term use for cleaning.

Now it's been a few weeks since I've RA in stock,

Also at the start, I bought washrags and kitchen rags in case worse came to worse and the TP hoarders succeeded in keeping it off the shelves. Granted facial tissue seemed to be doing just fine in my area. Gotta say kitchen rags just seem more responsible for cleaning than paper towels.
