I was out shopping today. The one thing I cannot find anywhere is rubbing alcohol.
Substitute grain alcohol
Walmart keeps it at their customer service desk.
Are you trying to make hand sanitizer?
I bought a gallon at local Ace a couple weeks ago. (Rubbing alcohol )
I’ve noticed a shortage of canned tomatoes. Everywhere.
I found some at Dollar General but it was the last bottle. I’ve been looking for Peroxide for months. Online price? 12.00+ per bottle.
Maybe the anarchists are using it for nefarious reasons. It's highly flammable.
I found rubbing alcohol at walgreens but only the smaller bottle and limit 1.
One of the first thing I bought when I heard about covid was 91% isopropyl alcohol; the large bottle at Dollar General.
They have been out since.
I found a small bottle at Rite Aid today.
Not that I use it for covid exclusively. I use it for many projects.
I know. I use it as an aftershave.
I’ve been able to find the 70% at Wal-Mart and some drug stores, but 91%????
No way, no how.
Last bottle I saw at any store, was 32 oz 70 percent at Walmart, around Memorial Day.
Since then, I have continued to search at Walmart, Walgreens, CVS, and the hardware store. Nothing.
Unusual for our country that can produce many millions of gallons per day. I wonder, where does that go?
That’s because it’s an ingredient in so many cleaning and sanitizing products.
First, the sanitizing wipes (made with alcohol) have to be made and restocked, and then we can have some rubbing alcohol in the stores. Until then, all the extra goes to the health care industry, or so I’ve read.
The whole situation is bizarre to me. A two-week panic four months ago and we still can’t buy a bottle of rubbing alcohol? In the USA in 2020? Something is rotten in Denmark. And pretty much everywhere else, the way it seems.

Have you considered Everclear?
I use 70% Isopropyl to clean my CPAP equipment. My stock was getting low, when my son suggested this alternate.
