I finally found the Leinenkugel (sp?) Oktoberfest beer and bought a 6-pack last night, but now I don’t see it mentioned here. Has the rebate expired? TIA.

Price has dropped to $2.96.

I bought a few boxes of these. I’ve heard of three ways to see if these are effective so I tested a mask and it passed with flying colors:

1. Can you blow out a flame while wearing it? Nope…it didn’t even flicker.
2. When you hold a flame to the inner layer does it melt instead of burn? Yes.
3. And recently (per Dr. Oz): Does it hold water? Yes…waited a good 30 seconds and not a drop leaked through.

Maybe there are other methods to test these masks but so far these seem perfectly good. We’ve gone through about half a box and so far no issues (not even the occasional broken earloop that sometimes happened with others I bought earlier). At this price kind of a no-brainer to stock up, keep a box in the car, etc…
Here in upstate NY our area was doing really well up until last week…and now our numbers are skyrocketing. Last week we had 53 active cases, today we have over 300.

Our church collects new hats, gloves, toiletries, etc. to donate at Christmas. With this deal (using a Kohl’s card) I was able to get a total of 36 pairs of gloves and 40 hats for $103, plus earned $20 in Kohl’s Cash.

This is one of the CDC’s recommended hand sanitizers.
If you don’t need this quantity, one of these 8 oz. bottles is the same unit price at Target ($1.98).

Is there reason to be skeptical of the safety/effectiveness of these low priced masks? I have no idea what was the typical cost of disposable 3 ply masks before Covid-19 hit. In April I was paying $1.50 for one of these (one mask, not one box!) at Wegmans, so this is a crazy price difference. Are these current low prices merely a reflection of supply finally catching up to demand?

Question: I just looked at 7 pages of product reviews and realized the same reviews are on almost every page. (?)

***These are currently down to $4.99 a box.

I tested the above suggestion to see if the middle layer would melt, not burn. Held a flame to it and sure enough, it melted. I also tried blowing out a candle while wearing the mask. Flame didn’t even move.
Just to see if it would be too hard to breathe while wearing two masks, I tried doubling up last night for grocery shopping. It was slightly more restrictive to breathe through but honestly not bad at all, and this is coming from someone who already has significant scar tissue in my lungs.
I will say that one of the ear loops came off while taking one of the masks out of the box. Not a deal-breaker for me, certainly not at this price.
I’m ordering more, for myself and for relatives that have been taking a risk by re-using similar masks to try to make them last longer.

We have several extremely high-risk family members from age 6 to 94, so we can’t take Covid 19 lightly. When things started going downhill back in April we started using disinfectant cleaners at home and disinfectant wipes when out, for wiping down a credit card after using it, etc… Thought we were being careful till we found out that most disinfectants have a much longer “contact time” than we realized (the amount of time a surface needs to stay wet in order to kill the virus). Most need at least a few minutes. According to the CDC website, even Lysol spray which is one of the few the EPA has recommended so far and is probably the holy grail of disinfectants, needs at least 2 minutes to be effective. But 70% rubbing alcohol needs only 30 seconds. These wipes are 75%, so they’ll be perfect for keeping in our car to use when we’re out.
Thanks so much Mr. C.

I ordered a box and they arrived Tuesday. At first they looked identical to the much higher-priced ones I’ve been buying at Wegmans at 10 for $7.99 (no idea who makes those; just a generic blue and white box that says "Earloop Masks, Premium Non-Medical Use, 3-Ply, High Quality, Melt-blown Fabric, made in China). But when I compared them further I noticed two differences: the inner white layer of the eBay mask is smooth while the inner layer of the Wegmans mask has more of a quilted look. That made me think the Wegmans mask might be better quality. But while wearing them, the Wegmans mask doesn’t move when I breathe in and out even with a close fit while the eBay mask does, and I’ve heard that’s a feature you should look for in a mask to show that it’s fitting snugly enough with few air gaps. All 50 look good, nose piece works well, ear loops seem fine and are even long enough that if needed you could tie a knot in each loop for a closer fit. At 50 for $5.50 these will be great for one-time use in fairly low-risk settings. I’ve read that some people wear two for added protection; haven’t tried that but guess it’d be worth the added peace of mind in a higher-risk situation.
These certainly are inexpensive. Thanks OP.

Great price but it doesn’t look like these have any kind of nose piece to pinch for a closer fit. Masks with that gap across the top make me uneasy.
