I have a couple of those little orange plastic boxes that once held 100 rds of .22 ammo. Up until I started using them in my shed to hold odd screws and such you could still make out the .99 cent stickers from Bi-Mart in Oregon where my dad bought them decades ago. A cent per round.

Re: Another Meme Thread
I was working at a big discount chain sporting goods beginning 1965 and we sold Peters .22LR on sale for 29¢ a box/50. By 1966 we were up to 33¢ sale price. The store had just opened in '65. .22 WMR was $2.97. I still have some boxes of both. Still shoot fine.RPBrown wrote:I remember saving my allowance money back in about 63 or 64 and buying a brick of 500 .22 long (not long rifle) for $3.50 on sale.Flightmare wrote:I think my dad still has some of those. unfortunately, they are not 22 lr, so they won't work in my pistol.imkopaka wrote:Flightmare wrote:

I had the opportunity to drop by the old Peters plant in Ohio. Long closed when I visited, but the shot tower was still standing and had the creek running through it.puma guy wrote:I was working at a big discount chain sporting goods beginning 1965 and we sold Peters .22LR on sale for 29¢ a box/50.
