@Foodstampede This is actually no deal at all. I missed the 10 packs of 200 each part.

But if you have Costco membership, it's $4 for 400 even without special sales. Local CVS often sales cheaper through deals too.

Also a much cheaper way is get sterile rolled cotton or gauze pads, 70% isopropyl alcohol bottle, and make your prep pad on the fly. You reduce the trash and environmental impact from excessive packaging of individually wrapped prep pads too.

Researchers anyway are a tad guilty of adding waste through their pins and vials.

@MyB this is the same price I paid for them in April - don't fall for the "prime day deal" scams - most items are the exact same price they have always been.

STILL- A great price!

Ding, Ding, DIng! Just alcohol wipes. Buy a bottle of 70%, medical gauze and make your own! Hundreds for the price of a few.

@Eleanor thats to much work!

I use 70% Isopropyl Alcohol Spray and paper towels for large disinfections.

Ah, you pansy, it's not breaking rocks in the hot sun. Pour alcohol in a bowl, snip gauze to length, but all in baggie in the freezer. (Yes, squeeze the gauze out & put in baggie.)

How much do you get charged for shipping on that small item, or do you order a minimum order for no shipping charge?

I guess I always use as many work arounds as possible because of budget. It's also possible that VERY soon, lots of these small items will go way up on price.

Im not to cheap or afraid to just buy in bulk from walmart or sams when im there, the wipes are so easy and a lot less time consuming, I spend a few hours a week preping my peptides as it is.

@brandenscheidecker
I understand. It's just that I keep close watch on Ag reports, esp. cotton, grains, coffee and a myriad of others, and come late Fall of this year and into early 2027, I think people will be shocked. Different subject & don't want to twist this thread.

It is NOT wrong to 'hoard' items if you think they will be needed.

I’m pretty much done ordering from Amazon. Even with Prime it still takes 5-7 for delivery where I live, so I’ve gone to ordering from online medical supply stores. Such as Medexsupply.com. I know what I’m getting and when it’s going to arrive.
