The list of staples in my household that are now super difficult to track down due to people madly stockpiling during the Corona crisis is growing by the week and now includes:
Toilet paper (which seemed to have kicked off the madness of stockpiling in Australia)
Pasta (and I love pasta)
Flour (plain flour, self raising flour occasionally pops up in limited supply)
Yeast and any bread making ingredients
And now we're adding foaming hand wash to the list because we're just about to run out and cleanliness is super important during this crazy time.
However thanks to a very helpful shop assistant at Priceline, I've found a decent replacement!
'Have you tried body wash?'
-That incredibly helpful Priceline employee
She'd seen me wandering aimlessly through the aisles and popped over to help me track down whatever I was looking for.
'It's roughly the same thing and you can just pop some into a pump bottle and there you go.'
Simple and brilliant and probably something that she's shared with many others looking for hand wash only to see empty shelves wherever they go, so now I'm passing it on to the blog reading world.
Thank you Priceline superstar!
Obviously the anti-bacterial body wash would be the go, ala something like this:
But even your basic bodywash that came along with your xmas gift pack of Lynx (Axe elsewhere in the world) can suffice if that's all you have handy - it's still a step above keeping your hands as clean as possible after eating, going to the toilet, sneezing etc.
Of course don't forget that drying your hands properly is just as important as washing them in this current situation so make sure you take your time with both actions to protect both yourself and others.
