Has anyone found a good alternative to the harbor freight nitrile gloves? These things used to be $7.99 or $9.99/box at full price, but since COVID, they've become $17.99-$19.99/box. I refuse to pay it, I feel like they are price gouging. I don't need anything crazy, I just use these for things around the house such as painting, or doing oil changes, etc.
Thanks!

due to covid all glove prices have gone up a lot. or they just don't have any to sell. I have used this place in the past. https://www.unisafegloves.com/nitrile-gloves.htmlThey give coupons every once in a while. like free shipping or 10 percent off. generally I get a case and it lasts a couple of years. They too have double in price since covid. I have also ordered these. https://camelcamelcamel.com/1st-Choice-Industrial-Orange-Nitrile/product/B0799S8BC1but you have to wait for the price drop to be worth the while. currently out on all counts. I like the orange ones as they stand up better to cuts and tears than the other nitrile gloves. honestly you are going to have to wait it out if you want the old pricing right now.

I'm fortunate enough that my company provides nitrile gloves for us to use (we purchase them with a company c.c.), and yes, those suckers flew way up in price. Right when people were starting to whisper about covid, I drove around to a few places to buy/check inventory of a few things including protective gloves. Advance autoparts carried an EXCELLENT and very durable glove. I'm pretty sure they were Mechanix brand nitrile gloves. Same price, better glove-when in stock. Good luck.

I went about a month ago with my SIL to HF and thought I would grab a box or 2 as I'm getting low. Talk about sticker shock! Didn't matter which one you wanted, they were all $19.99 per box. I refused to pay that. If I run out before the price drops back down, I'll do without. Tim

Price gouging, lol.
Here's a prime example, semi related.
I stopped in Autozone for something or other yesterdar, CRS is kicking in, lol. Anyway, as I was waiting in line to check out I saw they were selling gallon jugs of hand sanitzer, the alcohol based stuff. IT was buy one for $9.99, get one free", regularly priced $39.99/ea.
VP Racing fuels was the brand.

Good Luck with that. Most of them are made in China and they’re still expensive from any retailer. I’ve had a few cheap ones over the last year and they practically fall apart in minutes. An average box of gloves is about $20.00.
China is the enemy.

I like the black ones at the counter at O'Reillys. Not sure on the cost since covid, but I'll find out soon as I'm almost out of them.

A significant part of the price increase is due to.. A. Import cost sanctions B. Weakening of US $ to the Chinese RMB C. Cancelation of the TPP (Trans Pacific trade agreement), would have deleted the 9% import duties The end result was the final product cost to Harbor Freight, landed in USA port shipped from China was increased by 37%. So now after considering the profit markup % by Harbor Freight, the final retail cost was increased significantly.. Just my $0.02....
