Can't get masks/respirators (hexbear.net)

Went to 4 different pharmacies, 2 of them enormous. Couldn't find any masks/respirators on the shelves. In each case I asked a store helper person. Only in the 4th one I went to did they have anything, and in that case there was only one type of product available - a disposable N95 respirator by 3M. They cost $5 each.

How are you finding masks and affording to stay masked all the time? It seems really expensive...

Bulk buying online is the way to go, not just for masks but for everything. Every trip to a shop avoided is a mask saved. Well not exactly because you can reuse the masks a few times as long as the elastic is still good and you leave each mask 3 days between uses.
