Friends ~

Right now (through the end of this week, I think), Walgreens is selling 16 fl.oz. bottles of 3% hydrogen peroxide for $0.29. This is not the tall bottle which is 32 fl. oz. HOWEVER, this is still almost 50% off the price by volume what Wally World sells it for when it's on sale there. No coupon needed and as far as I can tell, no limit. I visited 2 Walgreens and cleaned 'em out of 10 bottles at the first one and bought 2 cases (18 bottles/case) at the second one. At both stores, the employees made casual conversation about why I was buying in bulk. Is this stuff a component of homemade explosive devices? One employee stated that if they had a suspicious high-quantity purchase, the FBI requested notification. Anyway....I told 'em that I have first aid kits in all the cars as well as at home and with dogs & kids always gettin' scraped up, I use alot of it. (Ssssshhhhh....I have dogs, but no kids.)

These smaller bottles are much more stashable in our first aid kits, car emergency kits, BOBs, field gear, etc. This is a good buy!

Well that was a great bargain. Great job and thanks for the info. Will be checking it out later this week when I head into town.

I love it when those go on sale. CVS and RiteAid often run those specials too, on HP, Alcohol, and sometimes Witch Hazel. For .30 to .40 cents, who can pass up that deal to stock up their medicine chests and first aid kits?

Thanks for the tip. I didn't notice it in the local ad this week!

As I posted on the other forum, HP is also a good replacement for "Oxi-Clean" in your laundry and other cleaning chores, as well as an effective teeth whitener (swish a capful for ~10 minutes, spit, rinse). Good find, Copper!

My local walgreens was running the same deal, I went up to town a little while ago for hydrogen peroxide for my ears, and was pleasantly surprised to find this! HP is great for dissolving earwax.

I too took part in this. The clerk when checking me out was telling me all of the good uses for it.

I also took part in the buy one get one free meds such as the sore throat stuff.

If unopened, does it have unlimited shelf life?

I have had few bottles, but once opened it fizzled out as I used only little of it.
After a while once opened HP would not do a thing.

Just a FYI chinamart sells the travel size peroxide and a bunch of other little tidbits including neosporin in its skin care section for 99 cents on a daily basis. Great rack to stock up on BOB stuff.

It makes a good mouth rinse too... One cap full mixed with three times the amount of water will kill just about all germs in your mouth and leave ur teeth super white after a few weeks of use. My dentist said it's safe too.

Since it's in a opaque bottle which protects it from sunight and it's sealed, I would think that at room temperature, it would last forever. The only way that hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) becomes useless is when the extra oxygen molecule is released making it H2O (water) and O2 (oxygen). The primary way that this occurs is when it comes in contact with a catalyst causing this chemical reaction (such as catalase, an enzyme found in blood - that's the bubbling reaction you witness when it's poured on a cut or a scrape). In the bottle, there is no reaction and therefore should remain 100% indefinitely. Just my logic....
