I recently got a coupon in the mail from Academy that was worth $20 towards any purchase of hunting, fishing, or camping gear.  Didn't seem to be any strings attached.

I saw that they had Winchester White Box 9mm on sale for $4.86 per box.

So, we went there a few minutes ago and I bought a case.

Total 20 boxes @ $4.86 = $97.20

Minus $20 coupon = $77.20

Plus tax of $6.37

Total $83.67

How's that for a bargain.

Geez O_P... Did you run out the door after you got this steal?

You need to go back and get much, much, more!   No such thing as too much ammo!

Nope.

But I kept looking over my shoulder to be sure they weren't coming after me.

Best I've come up with is $4.88/box (case price) at Dick's sporting goods.

Then use the Score card to get cash back. And then go back and buy more ammo.  

It's a big circle.

Spooky.

Right after I posted, my 500rds of Winchester WB .45 arrived.

Blazer $3.86 a box every day at Academy. I buy it by the case sometimes. Makes shooting a 9mm cheaper than shooting 5.56. Heck even cheaper than 7.62x39. Gotta love 9mm.

For general use 9mm you just can't beat white box for the price.

Wow, talk about a glass-half-empty type!

O.P.--what is this "Academy" you speak of?

Thank you for the tip OP! I'm going there right now!!!

Even without the $20 coupon that's still an awesom price.

I guess I'll be taking my 9's to The Hun Farm this weekend.

In Orlando that was the price for Q3131a.  WWB 9mm was $4.88.  In both cases you got an additional 10% off if you applied for a Bass Pro credit card, even if you already had one.

OP, glad you got a good deal!

The glass is neither half-full or half-empty, it was simply engineered to twice the required specifications :)

Edit:  Academy is a Sports/Outdoors store located in the south.

Academy is a chain sporting goods store in these parts.

They sometimes have great prices.  I bought a Mossberg Maverick 12 gauge pump shotgun, with vent rib, for $136.

How you gonna beat it?

With it that cheap, you could start using ammo as a backstop for your Box O' Truth!
