I got so lucky that I have allergies - I bought a 10 pack a year before the pandemic to clean out my basement. I realized I still had them, and that they were n95 all along. I'm still reusing the same 6 that I didn't give to friends.
Yeah same. If they're getting a bit icky and you can't afford a replacement, you can sterilise them in a convection oven like in this YouTube video. Or even place them under your cars windshield if it's sunny outside. Also to make the n95s last longer (and look nicer too, if you're fashion conscious) you can wear a large fabric mask over it. These things have probably been life savers for me so far.
I had masks, 70% iso, and gloves when the pandemic started just because I grow mushrooms and need those regularly, so I always have a lot of them. That's a hobby that may have saved me from COVID.
