Face masks are now part of your everyday life (and if they’re not, they should be). They’re part of work, home, and school life. They’re our best first line of defense against COVID-19. When shopping for face masks and other PPE, the totals tend to come out cheaper when you buy many, instead of few, or just one. We want to help you find the best deals on PPE, so we’ve compiled the list below, with some special promo codes, to help you find the most affordable face mask options for your and your family.
Now, N95 masks are the gold standard used by most hospitals and care facilities throughout the pandemic. At the same time, they are far from the only choice. An excellent default if N95 masks are unavailable is the KN95 mask, which is very effective and reliable for filtering out unwanted particles and germs — and have been approved by all the relevant agencies — and cost less. There are also cloth masks, which are washable, reusable, and lighter to wear. Here are some of the best options out there:
