Amazon finally has Purell back in stock at the lowest prices we’ve seen since the begging of the year when no one had even heard of the novel coronavirus. This is a huge deal since the pandemic isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. The craziest deal is on a 12-pack of 8oz Purell pump bottles, which is just $34.21 when you use Subscribe & Save and clip the 25% coupon (remember, you can cancel your subscription after you order arrives if you want to). 12-packs of large 20oz Purell pump bottles sold directly by Amazon at the lowest price online, 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.
