It took nearly seven months, but Purell is finally widely available on Amazon and prices have come down quite a bit over the past month. This is a huge deal since the novel coronavirus pandemic isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. The best values are on 12-packs of 8oz Purell pump bottles and 12-packs of large 20oz Purell pump bottles sold directly by Amazon at the lowest price online, plus 3-packs of 8oz Purell pump bottles that cost less than $30 for the first time since COVID-19 outbreaks began sweeping across the US.
