Walmart sells em for $1 a large brown bottle. Idk how much it is, but I buy 10 at a time
That seems like a lot of hydrogen peroxide. What should I be using it for that I’m missing out on?
I think I’ve had the same bottle for 10+ years and 2+ moves
Your bottle has expired. And opened bottles expire within 6 months. https://www.thoughtco.com/hydrogen-peroxide-shelf-life-3975974 https://sciencenotes.org/hydrogen-peroxide-shelf-life-before-and-after-opening/
about 10 years or so here, too. but it's about empty. gonna need more with my recent track record vs knives in the kitchen (went a month slicing a different finger on one hand each week) and a couple bad scrapes so far this winter from falls outside.
Hydrogen peroxide is terrible for cuts, it damages the skin.
Cleaning with soapy water and using a bandage to keep the healing skin moist is the best. If you are worried about an infection, like a cut that got dirt in it then use an antibiotic like polysporin.

nah, vodka.
Maybe they have hemophilia or that paper skin disease
They have been out of stock for weeks.
Because someone keeps buying them 10 at a time
all the lulz
Are you looking at the 3% topical solution, or something more concentrated?
Same words, but bottled water.
Marketing and distribution costs money.
I'm pretty sure they were just pointing out that bottled water is also way more expensive than its component parts--they were not proposing that they were the same thing.
corruption and greed costs money
HP is $1/bottle at Walmart, rubbing alcohol 70% is $3-4 somehow.
As I stated here before. Walmart has been out of stock for several weeks.
