bi-mart
Bi-Mart is an employee-owned chain of retailers located in the U.S. states of Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. A typical Bi-Mart houses merchandise including electronics and small appliances, housewares, hardware and power tools, sporting and hunting supplies, apparel, canned and packaged food, personal care products, a drugstore and, at many locations, a pharmacy. The median size of a Bi-Mart store is 31,000 square feet (2,900 m2).
Like Costco and Sam's Club, Bi-Mart stores are membership stores; unlike those chains, its members-only policy started as a workaround to fair trade laws established in the United States in the 1930s such as the Miller-Tydings Act and those related to suggested retail prices. Thus, the membership for an entire family costs $5 and never expires.
The company was founded in 1955 and is headquartered in Eugene, Oregon. As of mid-2018, there are 79 store locations. Bi-Mart's first store opened in Yakima, Washington in 1955, but it did not open a second store until 1962. In 1976, Bi-Mart was bought by Pay 'n Save, which itself was acquired by Thrifty Corporation in 1984. It was subsequently merged into the former Kmart subsidiary PayLess Drug, and finally purchased by Rite Aid in 1996.
In 1997, Bi-Mart's management and Endeavour Capital (a Portland-based venture capital firm) bought the company; they sold it to employees March 1, 2004, for $94 million, which included $12.5 million contributed from the 401(k) plan. Bi-Mart is the sole surviving store name of former Pay 'n Save subsidiaries. (Schucks Auto Supply retained its name until acquired by O'Reilly Automotive, Inc. and rebranded in 2010.)
In October 2003, Bi-Mart announced it was expanding eastward. Eight stores were planned with the first store in Havre, Montana. The second store opened three years later in Weiser, Idaho. In 2006, Bi-Mart exited the Montana market due to poor sales.
Sale runs March 19-25, limited to 1 case per person (20boxes)

Bi mart in Corvallis has primers for around 7 cents. Small pistol and small rifle. There is also a pound each of Lil Gun and AA7. I didn't ask but suspect there is a limit of 200 in the primers.
Today I stopped in at the Beaverton Bi-Mart and was in shock when I saw H1000 - $48, Retumbo - $48, Varget and BLC(2) $35 on the shelves.
I bought a bunch. Just thought I would share the good news.
All shotgun ammo is 10% off.
They have Federal Flight-Control 9-pellet 00 Buck on clearance for $6.77 and now an additional 10% off. I wish it was 8-pellet, but beggars can't be choosers.
Few deals on 5.56.
PMC Xtac $7.99 20 rds .40cpr
Winchester Valor M855 $54.99 125rds apparently stacks with Winchester 25% mail in repate. .44cpr before rebate .33cpr after rebate.

I've been going to Bi-Mart for decades, and just wanted to pass this along for those who might be interested. I don't work for the company, and I have no interest in promotion these things. I just think they're super cool.
$44.77 on clearance at my local Bimart.

YMMV I ordered online and picked up in store.
I know someone waiting in the queue to get a gun that they bought at our local Bi-Mart. They just got a call telling them to come get their mags as Bi-Mart instructed staff to destroy all mags over 10 rounds! That's just one store though. Anyone else hear the same or know of another store...
