You know it's a sign of the times when hand sanitizer is one of the most in-demand items of the summer. Per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), using a formula with at least 60% alcohol is recommended to sterilize your hands as a protective measure against COVID-19 (secondary to soap and water, of course). Until recently, however, it's been hard for stores to keep it in stock. As these alcohol-based gels and sprays slowly make their triumphant return to shelves, we're showing you where to stock up this season—and the ones ahead—for less.
If you're looking for places to pick up a bottle or two at a discount, you've come to the right place. Keep reading to discover eight retailers offering savings on hand sanitizer right now.
