N95s under a dollar: The best face mask deals available now
With mask mandates possibly coming back this month, it's a smart time to pick out some new face masks. More than one in two Americans live in an area where the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) currently recommends wearing masks indoors.
Luckily, N95 masks are more affordable than they used to be. Some N95 masks are selling for less than $1 a pop -- a far cry from the days of N95 mask shortages.
