Yes I remember those days. You could swing by and pick up stuff on the way to deer camp. Hopefully they will be back.

I remember when it wasn't locked in a cabinet.

Some places it still isn't.

YMMV.

Wow... That would have been high three years ago but isn't bad in today's market. Darn, I have been searching for a box or two. Maybe it will start showing up more.

:headscratch ...that's a great price even 3 years ago...less than $2.00 a box...$20.00 / 11boxes...500 round bricks were around $16-17 5 years ago.

For anyone who is in pinch and need some 22LR, PM me. I can share a block, 100 rds at a time
Or, you can go Walmart in Lucas, TX and try your luck to grab a block or 2. Call in before you drive.

Maybe old age is catching up with me. I paid 9.96 for a 500 round box of that very same ammo at Walmart. I purchased two boxes. You fellers have me thinking I may have purchased them more years ago than I remember. I would have sworn it was just the other day, but then again, there seems to be many other life events I think were just the other day that my family tells me were ten years ago. Yikes!!! This is getting scary. I think I am becoming my grand pa.

Thinking about it, the restaurant charge me 2.50 for a cup of coffee this morning! What happened to 50 cents with free refills? :mrgreen:

I feel your pain.

Unfortunately the answer is the same thing that happened to ten cent pay phone calls.

Come to think of it, it happened to the pay phones too....... :lol:

At least you can still find a place that will serve a cup of coffee.
