  • Purell hand sanitizer prices on Amazon are lower right now than they have been in months, which is shocking when you consider that Purell is still impossible to find in stores.
  • The hottest deal you can get right now is on a 12-pack of 8oz Purell pump bottles, though this listing is likely to sell out soon.
  • If you’re willing to go with a brand other than Purell, there are several options in stock that are even stronger and often less expensive.

Not only is Purell back in stock at Amazon right now, it’s back in stock at the lowest prices we’ve seen since the beginning of the year when no one had even heard of the novel coronavirus. This is a huge deal since the pandemic is worse right now in the US than it has ever been before.

The best deal is on a 12-pack of 8oz Purell pump bottles, which has a Subscribe & Save coupon you can clip the 25% coupon (remember, you can cancel your subscription after your order arrives if you want to). Purell 1-liter bottles are also in stock, plus 4-packs of 8oz Purell pump bottles are available for just $24 if for some reason you don’t want a 12-pack at a deep discount.

As a matter of fact, all five of these popular hand sanitizers are even stronger than Purell thanks to an alcohol content that exceeds the 70% you’ll find in Purell.

The best-selling Purell alternatives on Amazon right now are SupplyAID 80% Alcohol Hand Sanitizer Gel and Chemical Guys EightyAID Sanitizer. You’ll also find Clorox hand sanitizer on the list below — most people didn’t even know that Clorox makes hand sanitizer, and it’s actually 1% stronger than Purell.
