Family pack of carex hand gel in stock at boots

Incase anyone would like to get a few, boots are selling 6 bottles of the 300ml carex hand gel for just over £20

Free delivery if you spend £30 so we've added some suncream to the order

Carex has a high alcohol content in their gels, 70%

No good for your hand bag though as it's a big bottle

You're right to be cautious @peoplepleaser1, I ordered some a few weeks ago from Savers, only to discover that it was only 40 percent alcohol. So it's ok as a normal antibacterial gel, but useless against viruses.

There are lots now available on Amazon but I don't recognise any of the brands so it's hard to wether I can trust them.

My DH is doing deliveries for work and my dad lives in flats with shared areas- he has to touch several fire doors and lift buttons to get in and out. So I'd like gel for them.

I ordered Monday and got today. Will be taking into school as we are using a lot of it!

Mine arrived today. My neighbours (key workers) and parents now have some and the rest should keep us going for a goodly while.

I'm using it when shopping. I've got a tiny 50ml bottle that I've been rationing.
Much prefer soap and water but outside the house that's difficult

I'll leave it for key workers and people who need it, we're just at home. If you don't need it, please leave it for those who do!

Shopping, I’m not waiting till I’m home to wash my hands, also public transport etc (not that I’m using that personally)

My Tesco extra had these in yesterday, single bottles for £3.49.

What do you all need it for? Unless you are still going to work of course I can see why you’d need it for travelling there etc

But surely now that we are in lockdown you can just wash your hands at home and you don’t need hand gel! I have a bottle in my house untouched for weeks - as I’m home all the time so it’s not required

@superstar84 Thank you, I didn't think it would be back in so soon, so have ordered some and will pass on a bottle to each of my neighbours

That's a clunky old site isn't it?

It was worse a couple of weeks ago when you had to wait in a virtual queue, only to find that there was no antibac stuff when you finally got on!

Fiddlefig Yeah, I will. But I'll give it to them because I'd feel like an awful person selling it to them. Whereas if I could just buy 2 bottles, I wouldn't have spent £20. Which I guess answers the question of why Boots are doing it that way! 😆

I think it’s good that they are selling them elsewhere but not everyone can get to the shops listed so I’m glad I got mine!

I’ve seen the same bottles in Savers recently, but they’re sold Individually, if anyone needs some.

I wonder why they sold them in 6’s and not individually

@manicinsomniac That’s why we will keep a couple of bottles and give the rest to family when doing food drops. You could ask if neighbours need any?
