Looks to me that this is turning into a 'stocking up' vs 'buy as you go' thread. Also, it is a 'free market' (buy as much as you want, sell as high as the market will bear) vs 'set market' (someone sets limits on how, where, when, how much, etc. a person can purchase) thread.
In the 'stocking up' vs 'buy as you go', I'm in the 'stocking up' group. I purchase more than one roll of TP when I go to the store. Before I go to the store, I check how much TP I have at the house and if I am running low, I purchase a 12/24 pack (or two if I feel like it and it's on sale). My ex is in the 'buy as you go' group. It was always infuriating to me when I went to the closet and found no TP, none under the counter in the 'Library', and I asked (screamed!!!) where the h@## is the TP? Her answer was always, 'the store hasn't got a sale yet' or 'I didn't realize that we were low' or the best was 'I didn't think to look and see how much we had'!!!
If you want ammo (by the case), pick it up or buy it online. If the store doesn't want to sell you a case, go to another store. It is their right to sell you something at the price and quantity they set. I personally won't buy at places that restrict price/quantity. It's a free market here in the USA and I wouldn't have it any other way. It's my money and if a store wants to limit purchases/prices, it's their store...........however, it's my money and I will shop elsewhere!!!!!! The store can go to h@## and dry up for all I care. There will always be other stores out there that will be willing to sell by the case and if that is what I'm looking for, there is where I will do my shopping.
I purchase cases online because I find the best prices, it gets shipped to my front door (saves on my gas/truck wear/insurance), and I don't have to deal with those stores that want to limit my purchases/prices. Like I said, it's my money and if the local stores don't want it, I'm not going to go out of my way to push it on them!!!!!!!
I've got a couple of T-shirts that have quotes that I really like:
"Free Minds, Free Markets, Free Society...." and "Politically Incorrect"
God Bless America and the freedoms that come from living in a free country!!!
