A good buy indeed you made. Looks like you got right in there in the morning. But why only 1 box per arm ? Could I then say "Artifical Scarcity" ? You speak yourself of 2nd hand knowledge so yes that is hearsay. Its getting late and I want to catch the last James Bond movie on tonight.

Speaking of "gouging".... LOL.... Has anyone noticed the price of 12 ounces of bacon. The grocery store is going to start putting it by the caviar! Fillet minion is cheaper. We need more government control... YEAH.... That's the ticket. The government should regulate all prices and determine all pay scales. That would surely make life "fair".

My Facts are based on what I see at the stores and online. I also hear only hearsay statements with out proof. I have attached a model of marketing and accept more "critical thinking" on everyone's part.

Let us not rush to arms nor draw swords as it will do nothing but divide us.
You haven't presented any facts whatsoever. Your statements are the epitome of hearsay.

it's all hearsay...

Man you have GOT to be kidding. Artificial scarcity? Even LEOs are having trouble getting ammo. Wake up.

NICS checks increase dramatically.
2006 - 10,036,933
2012 - 19,592,303

So many more guns are being bought that it's little surprise that ammo is scarce. Unless you subscribe to crazy conspiracy theories.

Thanks. yes I did when I was heading to work. It's really the best time to shop there. That's when all the soccer moms drop the kids off at school and head there to pick up stuff before workout time at teh gym. Just don't tell the_busy_mom that's the reason I go. I tell her it's because by 8:45, they are plum out of ammo.
But why only 1 box per arm ?
Because I would buy 100 boxes if they'd let me because otherwise it would cost me $18.99 a box. there are places out there price gouging don't you know. "rlol"
Could I then say "Artifical Scarcity" ?
No, you cannot.

It's still 100% more than you have given us.

Enough with this food hoarding! Before you know it, IHOP and Jim's is going to start limiting the amount of bacon you can get. Only one piece, per person, per day...and you have to go to the front register to get it.
