....sigh, ok I will admit, I pay 18 to 24 bucks per 50 for 22lr sometimes. Why? Cause accuracy matters to me and the pursuits I enjoy. But that's for the serious shooting.
Pre-panic, I could get Eley Sport for I think $4 per 50 and that was a pretty decent ammo for plinking. During the panic, while all the cheap and generally crap 22lr went off the shelves, the high-end stuff stayed around. Lapua, SK, sometimes Wolf, and almost always Eley Match was around.
Since you are new to 22lr shooting, I will tell you this, ammo is nearly EVERYTHING in accurate 22lr shooting. It will get you 90% of the way. A new shooter won't notice it, but as you build experience, you will quickly outshoot Remington's crap ammo; same for Winchester.
My advice is to savor shooting 22lr and buy a little bit better ammo. Yeah its fun to plink, but its even more fun putting 5 rounds into the same hole at 50 yards. Most centerfire guns would struggle at that.
Keep an eye on Champions Choice and Champion Shooter Suppy (they are different companies). They get target ammo before anyone usually.
