Doesn't matter. People stocked up on toilet paper and masks that couldn't block a fart. Perception says to panic buy, so panic buy when you can. Or, be right and have no ammo when you want it.
Stocking up at sportsman's prices makes me wanna drink!
I have a Kcup machine and I bought a filter that you can fill with your own ground coffee instead of buying Kcups which is even cheaper. I do keep some kcups on hand but use the filter most of the time.That is one that really has me shaking my head. Any time I am out and about in the morning several of those coffee shacks have a line going out into the road. That's just the drive up ones.
Decades back the first time I ever tried a Starbucks place I was working guy next door asked me if I wanted one as he was going to run down and get one. So I tried it. Thing was good but for that price?
Next day I bought a can of that flavored instant coffee and tried making it with milk instead of water. Damn stuff was even better and I got the entire can for less than that one cup at the coffee joint. Now days I use those K-Cup things. Works great since Wife does not drink coffee. Thing makes one cup at a time. Machine cost me less than one cup at the coffee shack. To each his own but I still don't get buying a cup of coffee that costs that damn much.
I have seen those reusable deals and really should buy one. I keep putting it off as I use so little coffee being the only one who drinks it. Still would be nice to have one for the little machine.
That is a good price by today's standards. If anyone has not yet set aside some that would be the place to get it right now if you have a Bi-Mart around you.
The 9mm has really come around they had a bunch of 12 ga as well but not cheap like the good ole days
Just a few years back that same 9mm ammo was $8 a box there but we know that's not going to happen again now with all the money printing.
I member $20 a box for 100 rounds of 12 ga Win sport loads from the Wal martsJust a few years back that same 9mm ammo was $8 a box there but we know that's not going to happen again now with all the money printing.
BTW : For those of us/you/me (until today) that didn't KNOW......

I also wonder about the $80k cars and trucks driving down the road. To each their own and all that. We all live different lives and have different financial means. If my wife didn't have her health issues, had continued her career, or if we didn't have kids, we'd have money coming out our ears. But things are what they are, and we're OK with that. All in all life is good.
It may well do just that. What always happens is not that there is not enough of the stuff being made. It's that panic feeds on itself. As the shelves start to get bare more and more people start to run around and buy everything they can get their hands on. It spreads VERY fast. Most should remember the great TP shortage. That was all panic buying.
Rumor had that orders made in October would be honored but big government contracts come first after Oct. We have seen it before when obummer got elected so I suspect this administration will carry on the policy.
It follows the same pattern every time. First components, then ammo, the first ammo to go is of course the most used and common. When its over it works in reverse. First thing to start to come back is ammo in the most common highest used calibers, and along it goes. Last one was the worst one I had ever seen as is evidenced by the way some ammo is still harder to find as are some components. I have to "hope" this means maybe this last one woke a few more people up? They are getting as soon as they could get. Who knows but looks like we will get to see the ant and the grasshopper play out all over again. This may be another perfect storm come election time. If enough shooters and those who should know better allow the same people to win another term? That alone will set off another panic all on its own.
Look around at EVERYTHING. The "Trump prices" are long gone. The printing tons of cash to give away has come home to roost now. Anyone who was not pretending nothing was wrong knew full well this would happen. Once again people doing the same things that failed over and over and expecting a different result. Print play money and dump it into the system and you get inflation.
