Went to walmart today to get some .22 ammo. Buying the eleven 50 rd boxes of federal .22lr is cheaper than buying a 550rd brick... Thought you was supposed to save money buying in bulk?

    Larger boxes do not always mean lower price. It's a marketing ploy. Lok at other things in the store, just about all manufactureres do it.

    Just yesterday I needed baking soda and stopped at the store. A 1 lb box is .99 and a 2 lb box is 2.29
    I would save .58 cents by buying two of the 1 lb boxes rather tha one of the larger 2 lb box.

    58 cents? .99 + .99 = 1.98. 2.29-1.98= .31.

    Btw, I saved $3 from getting the ammo in smaller boxes

    I thought maybe he had a coupon.[;)]
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    it depends on the product. i had this discussion with a coworker the other day in regards to beer.

    we sell bud light in the following sizes/quantities

    single 12oz-1.25(10.4c/oz)
    single 16oz-1.50(9.3c/oz)
    single 40oz-2.95(7.3c/oz)

    12pk 12oz- 12.49(8.6c/oz)
    18pk 12oz- 16.49(7.6c/oz)
    20pk 12oz- 18.99(7.9c/oz)
    30pk 12oz- 25.49(7.1c/oz)
    36pk 12oz- 27.99(6.5c/oz)

    prices are the same for most of the beers in that catagory(bud, coors etc). i dont have the figures for kegs, the only size container we sell i dont know the price of.

    clearly in terms of crappy lawn mower beer, the larger the quantity at a time the cheaper it gets.
