They are 90 cents to a 1 buck each here. The difference must be for shipping.

I didn't check where they were made.

At Amazon. 40 cents a piece.

With any of the disposable masks you buy give it the candle blowing test. If you can blow out a candle while wearing the mask it's worthless.  There have been several Chinese made masks that are super cheap so be careful.

I actually have a set of medical grade masks I bought back when a fire nearby made it so smoky here that I was unable to step in front of my door without an asthma attack. I have refractory asthma, and the only way I can breathe in a medical mask is with supplemented oxygen, which defies the purpose as an oxygen hose needs to run under the mask and leaves an opening. It is probably still better with the opening than one of the cheap masks, but I have decided to wear a cheap mask to help protect others from me, and a shield and gloves to protect myself from others. Not perfect by any means, but helpful, and so far I am alive. I think.
