RUBBING ALCOHOL, Amazon has it now; I just ordered.

[appalachiablue]

Regular size, 16 oz? (not the industrial grade in large bottles).

It's not cheap, 21.99 but at least they have it; local stores are out.

If interested check it out.

1. Hydrogen peroxide kills the virus too. It's easy to find and dirt cheap

[applegrove]

2. I got the indiviidual prepackaged alcohol pads from Amazon.

They are great on the go and for wiping down my cell phone.

[herding cats]

5. Same.

I also purchased plenty of isopropyl alcohol in February.

What I didn't see coming was the TP shortage. That one (literally) caught me with my pants down!

[applegrove]

6. LOL!

[herding cats]

9. Humans were stranger than I had anticipated...

Global respiratory pandemic emerging.

My reaction: Better buy some disinfecting products before there's a run on them.

The rest of the world: Buy all the toilet paper now!

I completely didn't see that one coming and suffered a few tense weeks due to my lack of understanding of human reactions!

[applegrove]

11. I stocked up. Then my brother was in town and watched tv at my house

and stayed with my other brother the rest of the time. To thank us, he got toilet paper each (the 16 biggest rolls i have ever seen). He said when he left the store with one huge pack of 32 rolls he felt like a hoarder but that was actually the only pack left.

[herding cats]

15. Yay for your brother!

You never had to endure those awkward moments of, "how few sheets can I get by with?"

That's not a miscalculation anyone ever wants to make!

[applegrove]

17. And we don't have telephone books anymore to use in an emergency.

[herding cats]

18. Right?

Worst possible time for this crisis in so many ways!

[appalachiablue]

7. Just ordered those and hope they're 'fresh.'

I like rubbing alcohol for personal use especially, on the hands, face sometimes, etc.

[applegrove]

14. They are tiny. But one will clean a cell phone.

[appalachiablue]

19. Yeah I noticed how small they are, like the ones

diabetics and others use before injections. As long as they're fresh and work ok, I'm good.

[applegrove]

20. There are a ton in the box.

[appalachiablue]

21. I ordered the 100 count box, so we'll see!

[herding cats]

16. The ones I purchased were fine, but small.

Good luck that yours are fresh, too!

[Rorey]

3. That's a ridiculous price

Price gouging. The seller should be reported.

[Doreen]

24. That was my first thought.

[herding cats]

4. Thanks for the tip, but I'm not paying that for isopropyl alcohol. 😑

Damn. People are gouging like greedy fiends!

[appalachiablue]

8. Well, I waited, have looked all over and prefer it

for hands, face sometimes, etc.

[herding cats]

10. As is your choice!

I'm just angry they're charging so much, but I deeply understand getting what you can where and when you can.

I'm not judging you at all, but them for being jerks.

[appalachiablue]

13. I know and believe me after what I've learned

about Big A's treatment of their workers, esp. during CV and the lack health care it was not an easy choice.

[herding cats]

22. I understand and respect your choice.

We all need basic, essential items, and disinfectants right now are way up on that list.

I've been using a bleach solution on all my hard surfaces because it's what I have right now, and I hate the harshness of bleach on the environment. I do empathize.

[cayugafalls]

12. I just checked Walmart.com and they have it in stock for order online.

At least for our area. I think it is dependent on the zip code and what the warehouse that serves that zip code has in stock.

2 16 oz bottles for $3.92 with a $5.99 delivery fee. Orders over $35 ship free.

23. That's great; I'm ordering from Giant & Amazon now

trying to avoid going in stores if possible. Had a dicey experience the other day in a drug store, the script wasn't ready so I looked around for 40-50 mins. w/o intending to do so. I wasn't in the mood, hadn't 'geared up' well and no lists. Waste....

[Doreen]

25. I found 80% 25.36 ounce hand sanatizer for 9.99

at Costco. That might still be price gouging but it is the least expensive price gouging I have seen. It is actually for putting into spray bottles but it does the same coming from anything else one might put it in.

[appalachiablue]

26. Thanks, that stuff is dear these days. I never used

it until recently- just handiwipes-- but I really like the hand sanitizer. Got some 7-11 brand too!

[Doreen]

27. The stuff I got is called "Heratage" and I found it under the pharmacy window.

I really like Kirkland sanitizing wipes. I have a pack in my car for cleaning my steering wheel and the part of the dash board where I put my mask between each time I wear it for the day.
