Help finding reasonably-priced XL or XXL/2XL disposable gloves

Events

Sacramento CA

Description

I am hoping someone can please advise me on any store in the greater Sacramento region selling reasonably-priced disposable exam gloves of size XL (Extra Large) or XXL a.k.a. 2XL (Extra-extra large). I am rather large in the hands and am on a tight budget. Previously I was probably getting a box of 100 nitrile exam gloves for around $21 early on in the pandemic last year. Since then it's been getting progressively harder. Unfortunately, it seems that at the current juncture of the pandemic, these rarer sizes have become almost unfindable locally, the prices online including shipping fees have gotten very inflated at least without making a gigantic volume bulk order, and I'm not even sure that the websites claiming to list them for lower prices are of legitimate vendors anymore. I'm loath to order thousands of something at a time and it would probably be difficult for me to store safely. To give you an idea of the extent of the problem: Recently, a Walmart store had a stale inventory listing of them, and a single available box of size XL of another brand was damaged in-store so I couldn't buy it. Because of the pandemic rules you can't buy for store pickup, so local shopping is “hit-and-miss” with mostly “miss”. Stale inventory is normal. They were selling a brand with stock of of “L” (Large) sizes with a hand-sizing diagram that made it seem like that would fit me, so I ventured to buy them instead. No such luck: when I finally tried them on, they were far too tight, and inevitably ripped each time I tried to get them fully donned. 🙁 The sizing diagrams are bogus or maybe not universally accurate for how everyone is shaped. So, size XL or XXL it must be. (“One size fits most” is no good because I am not most; such is life past one standard-deviation beyond the mean!) I am not allergic to latex but am disinclined to get latex gloves because I would hate to be liable for poisoning anyone with a latex allergy in public, and these are for using in public of course. If anyone notices or knows any store in the greater Sacramento area that has a nontrivial stock of XL or XXL/2XL exam gloves that are reasonably priced with at least a good foreseeable chance of being in-stock long enough for you to tell me and me to go purchase them, then I greatly appreciate if you can please message me about it. I'd like to do my part to be safe from COVID and avoid the spread of COVID without “breaking the bank.” Thank you.
