Peak Hoarding Achieved? One can only hope...I think everything besides masks will start coming back in stock.
Received a text message with tracking # just a few minutes ago. Ordered on 4/2.
I got the above email also. I'll put the $ towards a razor. I placed my order on 4/2 as well, but no signs of it being shipped yet.
All the sanitization makes no sense unless you're overnighting the package, but I get that they probably have to do it.
My local BigY has had hand sanitizer on the shelves since the weekend. I picked up two 8oz bottles on Saturday. Went back Tuesday and got two more, Weds the same and this morning the same. It would appear that most other shoppers haven’t figured it out, its not in the standard pump bottles. I almost missed it myself until I took a closer look in the bin, guessing most people just assume there isn’t any and have stopped looking. I was on line yesterday and some poor older woman was there wearing dishwashing gloves and a homemade mask. I flashed her my two bottles and told her which aisle, she went scurrying over to get it. I had plenty already but have been giving it away to people I know in need.
Aisle 1 in my store, right next to where the first aid supplies. They’re in a bin, you have to look for it.

I know exactly where that is, thanks! My wife laughed at me for checking there a week ago.
Did you verify it has one of the approved ingredients? Alcohol or some alternative?
Ethyl Alcohol, 65% (I checked the CDC website, the min requirements for Ethyl Alcohol is 60%, Isopropyl is 70%). Let us know if you found any.
<edit> $4.59 per bottle btw. Could easily sell it for $25 if I wanted to.
They did have it, in the hand sanitizer shelf which is always empty. Seems too liquidy though, I'd rather have the gel like stuff. Picked up a bottle anyway.
I didn't find it to be too liquidy but I hear you, it's not a thick gel like some of the others. Glad you got some.
Next time, assuming I live through this, I'll have a couple gallons in the closet with my cases of MREs. Anyone know what the shelflife of hand sanatizer is?Sorry it didn’t work out for you.

Went today, no sanitizer, I guess people figured it out. Oh well, I got 8 bottles last week to add to the stash so I’m fine. To be honest, if I had to choose one personal PPE item it would be hand sanitizer. Gloves are useless IMO. Masks (unless P95 worn properly) are also fairly useless to the wearer. Effective distancing, sanitizing/hand washing are the single most effective thing you can do to avoid this thing
Wegmans in burlington had some hand sanitizer in stock. Not purell, but its gel not watery.
Dude, wear a mask, please! They work, don't need the fancy ones. Lot of studies showing they work.
It's easier for the virus to fly straight to your face than go via your hand.
It was a little busy, had to wait outside in line for about 15 mins to get in, but they are one of the few places open until 10pm still. But plenty of stuff in stock.How's Wegmans? Forgot about it cause we live 20 min away, is it crowded these days? Costco is a madhouse, staying away from there.
