I think that's unusual Ruby. Try ordering them online from a place like drugstore.com or cvs.com. They will be a lot cheaper too probably
I think you can get it cheaper through ebay or other websites.

I use Latex gloves when I need to clean my kitty's litter box and whenever I need to touch disgusting stuff or cleaning agents I don't wont on my skin. I prefer nitrile because it doesn't leave that latex odor and white powder that latex gloves leave which is hard to wash off. But it is indeed too expensive so I use latex. I haven't heard of vinyl gloves before, I am curious how they compare to the other two types.
Statistically, the vast majority of people who are exposed to latex continuously will develop an allergy, Rubystars. It is just one of those highly reactive proteins. Maybe things would be different if our immune systems were fighting infectious pathogens every moment of every day, like they are supposed to, but this is the sterilized West and they have to look for something to do in all that free time they have.
There may be government interference involved too but the allergy factor is a fact.
The problem with latex is that some people have sever allergy, an allergic anaphylactic allergic reaction. I didn't know adults who don't have allergy are still at risk to develop such dangerous sensitivity.
They can if the gloves are used a lot. I just think people who have allergies should be the ones responsible for buying products to suit them. The rest of us shouldn't have to suffer because other people are allergic.If I had a business I might want to exclude this merchandise to avoid the risk of having either an employee or a customer touching this thing and getting a severe reaction. I am not sure the product is safe to be handles by sensitive people because it usually comes in a carton and anyone who touches the package likely comes into contact trace amounts of latex allergens.

I believe the powder used to preserve the latex is what causes most of the problem not so much the latex itself.The powder used is a cornstarch powder.
