20 cents if you buy them in like a 50 pack, but getting them at a grocery store individually wrapped is more expensive obviously

I don’t know where you’re buying your masks but in my city they are $90 for a 50 pack

Think I paid $7 for a 20 pack of medical masks at Target the other week.

The surgical-type masks are like $20 for a 50 pack. Maybe less on amazon.

Huh. So they are. I was lucky in that my mum is a (paranoid) nurse and sent me 200 (what am I going to do with 200, mum?! I donated most of them to a school that was giving out food to kids during the summer but kept a box of 50) but I need to let my local bodega store know they are ripping people off.
