Discovered these masks from Target

Image
 I happened to be in the aisle that had disposable masks at Target. I discovered the following ones (below): I like the KN95 or N95 masks because they don't suffocate you on your mouth (it doesn't even touch your mouth because of how its built). I opened up these masks when I got home & here were my findings: They aren't individually wrapped  There are 4 total in the package They have this nice, comfortable silicone protection for the top of your nose (you can see in below photo): They also come with adjustable plastic straps (you can see the one on the left side of the mask in photo above). For me, when I tried the mask on, I would remove the adjustable ends since it gives it more flexibility/and size.

I'm fine with conserving, but don't skimp when it comes to water temperatures that can kill germs. Covid is still very much prevalent.

2 Covid prevention tips

Covid prevention tip #1:  Either have antibacterial hand wipes OR hand sanitizer spray OR gel (minimally on you at all times) so that you can quickly disinfect hands after touching commonly touched surfaces in public/NOT have to touch commonly touched surfaces in public (i.e. if you use the hand wipe as a barrier when touching commonly touched surfaces such as doorknobs or pin pads at checkout). Well known brands for antibacterial hand wipes are "Wet Ones" and "Purell", of course store brand wipes work as well. Covid prevention tip #2:  To further support my point in Covid prevention tip #1, I was at Walgreens tonight and I thought I'd use the hand wipes that they provide in store since it'd be quicker to grab than my wipes in my bag (for wiping the shopping cart). I expected the first wipe or 2 to be dry, but even after grabbing a few, they were all so dry that I dug out my hand wipes (see photo below) that I got for the first time (first time I've eve...
