For the first time in ages I walked into a WalMart store last Tuesday morning and found .22 LR in stock - Winchester 100 pack in the red plastic box for about $7.00
This weekend on Sunday, same store, even more of the same product than there was on Tuesday.
Hopefully this is indicator that ammo inventory is going up and prices are going to fall.

You might want to check that American Eagle brand of 22 LR. I believe it is packed 40 rounds per box instead of 50. Still a good price though.

Checked the boxes- it is 50 rounds per box.
Was that price before tax or after tax?

Before tax. Stopped by the Academy in S Arlington Tuesday night to get more, only 1 box left. But was able to get several boxes of Federal Champion for $2.49 per box/50, which was not on the shelf Saturday.

Ouch...I did not notice that sleight of hand by American Eagle.
Well in their defense, it's been that way for 20+ years. I still have a case of it from the 80's and it's in 40 round boxes.

Lol...well I'd never seen that brand on a shelf before this weekend, guess it was always out of stock. Clever marketing strategy to sell in a smaller quantity than every other brand on the shelves. Overall, I take this as a good thing that some ammo was present that I'd never run across in the last 8 months of shooting.

I am not saying they have a glut, but the certainly are not having the store clearing panic they planned on. I would say the deals will continue as manufactures and retailers bleed inventory so that they can get to normal levels.

With daily threats by those who wish to subvert the Constitutionally elected candidate from taking office, perhaps the production levels need to stay at high levels.

I have noticed a slight decrease in pricing the last week or so.

I checked the usual places I buy online this week and no noticeable decrease. I hope you're seeing the trend downward.
