PLEASE tell me that you mean your wife's lasagna "makes you feel full". LOL

I'm always interested in learning more about guns/ammo. I work for cheap!! :lol:
Much like lead, it is a soft, dense material. The heaviest of the pasta-based casseroles, it is a powerful neurotoxin that, if consumed in sufficient quantities, will result in irreversible neurological damage and kidney failure.

I was able to get 2k rounds of wwb 9mm at a walmart two nights ago. Yeah, Im happy! I put in the effort for that one...I've been visiting this walmart for weeks almost every other day, checking their supply. I timed it just right the other night.

Boy, I wish it would go back to the way it was about 5-6 years ago. I remember buying 100rnd packs of 9mm for about $12. It doesn't even pay to reload anymore. Primers are just as scarce/ expensive. Its all the panic stricken ammo horders that are buying up all the ammo. For guys like me who shoot a LOT, we've got to cut back because all the ammo is getting stock piled.

So the price of Ammo is now going up. The Southington WalMart had target loads priced at $19.87 for 100 round bulk boxes (e.g. just rounds in a big box without carriers). Funny thing, as much as I like JoJo's, their price was $29.95 for the same thing. What a ripoff at both places, but what are you gonna do?

Just like auto fuel...if you intend to drive, you shell out more at the pump, I suppose.

I can run waste vegetable oil in my diesel and make virtually free fuel and reload to keep fodder in my cylinder or magazine for a modest cost. (Discounting time and labour, of course.)

For awhile yet, this looks to be the new reality. Maybe prices will retreat once some of the panic subsides, but I'd expect higher prices to be the norm.
