Was able to get China masks and Korean sanitizer at TnT.

I know its too late, but your local Safeway sells sanitizer for a good price. 1L for $13.99 will last me a long time

London Drugs were also selling rubbing alcohol for $8.99. I swear they used to cost like $1.99 or something.. so expensive now.

You Airdrie swingers can get sanitizer at the dollar store by extra foods. Or anywhere really. sanitizer seems to be plentiful these days.

Coop has pallets of the stuff from all the breweries when I was last there.

Super overpriced though

Does anyone else refuse to buy the liquid sanitizer? I hate it and out of principle i just won't buy it.

Gel or bust. I like the costco stuff they give out at the entrance and exits but i've never been able to find it in stock.

Yeah same. I bought a bottle of liquid sanitizer from a brewery and never use it, its so messy. A+mart had some overpriced gel stuff, 16$ for 750ml. I grumbled at the time buying it but it fits perfectly in my car cup holder and it's been 6 weeks and still over half full so in the grand scheme still happy with it.

I saw some gel stuff at shoppers drug mart by 17th ave last week, though make sure it has alcohol in it, they had another brand that was alcohol free on the same shelf which doesn't do anything for COVID.

My wife is hooked on the sanitizer from Rocky Mountain Soap. Apparently you hands feel moisturized and hydrated after. $18/bottle though.. argh .. I guess one bottle last a month or 2 so it's not a big expense.

Canadian Tire had lots of gel sanitizer in 1L bottles orb5 gallon pails. Like several pallets of it.

The reviews on Canadian Tire website say that stuff is liquid not gel. Not that i'd grab a 5 gal pail anyways lol

Just put the liquid in a little spray bottle, like the kind you use to clean your glasses.

That ain't gel.

I'll do that if I ran out of gel type.

$15 for 750ml which is basically 70% alcohol. I paid $5 for 500ml and I thought it was overpriced. But I needed it for prepping before I do ceramic coat, so I just paid it.

You could sanitize your whole head in one go.


We picked some liquid stuff up at The Italian Center late last week but it's made by a brewery north of Calgary (Ponoka?) and makes your hands smell a bit like beer (probably fermented barely or something). As a none beer drinker, it stinks. lol

We were running super low so we had no choice to buy the liquid from Minhas and yeah it sucks but it works. The worst part is going into a place where they fill the liquid into the old gel bottles and it ends up shooting everywhere

Walmart has some 1L One Step $9.99 but cannot guarantee stock in physical location is correct

I'm going to stereotype here and assume the 21 left at Marlborough aren't actually there and were probably stolen. Will bookmark this page though, hopefully Deerfoot Mall will have stock soon so i can zip over and get it.

Shoppers Drug Mart is starting to receive shipments of hand sanitizer. I think it is $2.49 for travel size and $4.99 for 500ml(both gels). AFAIK they both have alcohol, and rubbing alcohol is in stock at some stores too(~$5 500ml). I know for a fact at my store that the price on the alcohol hasn't changed since this started. If you don't see it on the shelf ask the cashier. Some stores are keeping it behind the counter to avoid hoarding.

I have been tracking these since outbreak. its all lies. You may get a bottle if you go 1st thing in the morning if you see 100+ bottle the night before.

Someone gave me a half bottle of the Minhas brewery/distillery hand sanitizer. No bueno. It's as viscous as rubbing alcohol and it comes out of what is essentially a wine bottle. It's not doing any favours for the Reserves, from what I hear. What kind of super-human can drink that, live, reproduce and go back for more? Methyl alcohol clearly makes you blind as a precursor to death. How people cheat that is beyond me.

Anyway, it also stinks and waters down any gel sanitizer you mix it with. I don't like it at all and I'm thankful to have a reasonable stock of normal, gel sanitizer.
From what I'm reading here, it sounds like that's the standard offering from the non-conventional sanitizer producers.

Yeah that's the thing with Cocowest: I've seen a lot of things they sell in BC that they don't carry in Alberta and I'm wondering if that's one of those things.

Yup, there was a full pallet when I went on Saturday to the NE location around 2pm. Right next to the masks and gloves.

$5 gets you 500ml 70% alcohol
$7 gets you 253ml of liquid type "hand sanitizers"
$15 gets you 750ml of Minha's stuff.

There's definitely money to be made here.
