Last time I bought them a couple months ago, they were $29.95, but I understand they are $33 pretty much everywhere now.
Too expensive now, I'll order online, less hassle too.

I've seen signs at Walmart that state their limit of 6 boxes of handgun ammo per customer. These signs are generally a joke given that they often have zero boxes to sell, which makes it kind of hard to hit that limit.

I remember when 45acp WWB 100rd value packs were that price. But that was five years ago.. I used to pass them over unless they were on sale. Things have gotten absolutely nuts, and it started long before Obama took office.

All stocked items have price points. If no one buys at a particular price point, that price points lowers to a level one will buy. Remember this before paying a ridiculous price for anything.

Haven't seen .45's at Walmart here in a long while. Lucky if you can find .22's

I was informed by a Wally World mgr. that a directive came from Bentonville:
ALL Wal*marts will have a 6 box limit per transaction....This was enacted a few months ago. He didn't mention it was a regional thing or up to the discretion of each Wally World...
How in the world did you get yours?
Free markets and ammunitions
Ammunition price and availability are a good example of capitalism/free markets in operation.
Where you have free markets, prices vary with supply and demand. The BUYER (in the end) sets the price....the seller merely determines whether THEY are the lucky vendor.
Suppose no one raised their price (central control of prices...like Russia)....then people like me would go out and buy up ALL the available ammunition. SHORTAGE results....definition: you can't buy it at ANY price, becuase there ISN"T ANY LEFT. Central price control ALWAYS results in SHORTAGE.
Free markets have the opposite effect: Some sellers RAISE their price, and that causes buyers like me to only buy one or two boxes, instead of 40. The next fellow is able to buy some. If there is a long long line out the door, the price keeps going up and up and up, until some of us give up and go home....but there is no shortage. Price adjusted until supply equaled demand (at the new price).
You can have your low prices (with central control) but then you will have shortage. You can't have your cake and eat it too. Several years back there were hurricanes in Florida that wiped out lots of power. I was without power for 7 days. The price of generators went up and up and up. Another impact of rising prices if that vendors are more interested in finding addtional supply. Pickup trucks starting coming from all kinds of states as people brought their un-needed generators from the Southeast, down to Florida, where they were badly needed. The increase in PRICE caused that movement.
Be happy that we are still able to have price fluctuations. We still have some property rights in Amerika.

Walmart prices always seem to be lower than everyone else. I would bet they are unwilling to pay much to their suppliers, either!
Therefore, they don't get the supply. Instead, another vendor who is willing to pay a bit higher price, gets the supply, and makes the product available to you.
Free markets in action.

I was in Walmart earlier tonight and the empty slot of the .45 value packs was indeed marked $32.97. The last ones I bought back in July (basically the last time I seen them) were at the $29.97 price point. I did walk out with six Winchester 333 .22lr value packs for $9.97 apiece. That's the first I've seen of those in about a year.
