Hi there I went to the 24hr chemist in San Javier to try and get masks to go to the shops they charged me 20 euro for two disposable mask it was disgraceful. I know the government put up that it was meant to be 96 cents each but I had no choice and not sure where I can purchase them and gloves ? , I checked all the supermarkets put to no avail and I just feel since we are brits that we get ripped off . Saddened by this and won’t be back at that chemist . I wondered if anyone knew of where I could purchase masks and gloves that won’t rip you off . Thank you in advance ☹️

That's a ridiculous price. Why not make your own?

You should have left them on the counter & walked out without buying them.

That's the proper price. Even the medical masks wouldn't cost two for twenty. And medical masks shouldn't be bought as it leaves a shortage for front line people.

Regarding gloves the medical advice is not to but to wash your hands regularly. Gloves only mean you could spread any potential virus to everything you touch. So washing hands is a much better iotion
