This picture will show what the prices really were.... $2.69 on sale.... 100 rounds.... a few years ago of course.

I was at my local Walmart the other day and they had everything but .22 and .22 WMR. I even scored a few boxes of .380 for $13.95! There's no way I'm lining up at 7am to grab a few boxes of .22 so I'll conserve what I have.

Yikes!

I remember when a cup of coffee or a fountain coke was 5 cents.

We really do need a time machine!

A few years for sure...I think all the Gibson's stores (at least in Texas), closed down over 20 years ago...I know our local one and the ones in Waco & Temple did.

Yup, more than 20 years. So I have been hoarding for a long time.

Gibson's has been gone a long time. There was one in Texas City and one in La Marque I think.
I have some .22 WMR JHP ammo I bought from Globe Discount City in 1966 that still has the $2.34 sticker on the box. The last box I bought was 13.99 about 600% increase in 47 years ain't all that bad I guess.

There's still a Gibsons in Weatherford with a pretty decent gun counter in the back. Prices are decent too. I bought a threaded barrel 22/45 there about a year ago.

Just to be sure since you're in MO - you're talking about Weatherford, Texas, right?
Edit: I just had to google it and I answered my own question. Weatherford, TX and found out there's one in Kerrville, Tx , too!

Who knew?!

I thought they were long gone.

I bought lots of reloading supplies from Gibson's back in the day. Bullets, primers, powder....

Did you bring enough of that .22 to share with the rest of the class??? Shame on you posting pictures like that!!!

What class? , Do you need some?

I got lucky and picked up a 1400 round pail of Remington HP's for $88.00 from a local new FFL last week!
