Yep, that's the one. I occasionally hit the one over on Hartzdale Drive and the Harrisburg one right off 322. Neither is any better.

I'm guessing you're trying to be funny, but if you don't care then I won't bother posting, I thought that was the purpose of this thread

I was not trying to be funny. It was funny, but it seems to have offended you. I offer my apologies as that was not my intent. I was certain I had teased you previously.

The Walmart in Glenolden usually had a decent selection of ammo. You could find something to feed your AR or AK-47. A good selection of handgun ammo. Nice selection of common rifle calibers. Great selection for .410, 12 gauge and 20 gauge. Now it seems to be limiting it's selection. Even though they have a better way of displaying it there is less variety than I have seen over the last two years or so. The labels on the shelves make me believe they are streamlining the selection they will be carrying from now on.

Some .22 and other rim fire ammo a few handgun calibers, a few rifle calibers. A lot of .223 and 5.56 along with the same amounts of shotgun ammo seems to be the direction. Not a single box or place on the shelf for 7.62 by 39.

I go to the Wal Mart in Eddystone. They rarely have .22, but when the do, its plenty. Tons of all other ammo. I only go to the Glenolden Wally by accident.

The person I asked to check told me to try Eddystone. Have you noticed if they have 7.62 by 39 on the regular?

The Indiana store pulls tags when something is out of stock for more than a few days.
I don't know why, maybe to stop people from asking when it's coming back in?
But I've seen stuff sell out, as in I've bought the last of it myself, and then next week the tag is gone, another week later and it's back on the shelf with new stock.

Seems WW's run differently than one another, that's for sure.
Indiana had all their portable heaters on clearance.
Had these Pelonis ceramic towers for $10.
I bought one for the bathroom, brought it home and tried it and holy crap that thing will roast you out.
I planned on getting another one to just have as a backup at that price and I was in Blairsville right up the road about a week later, they had them, for $20.
???

So I waited til I got back to Indiana, still $10.

Those twin quartz heaters are clearance priced at $30 at my nearest store. Commented on it last night as we walked by. We have a different brand we bought elsewhere years ago and they work great.

Since I'm off topic, I will note that I bought a bunch of aerosol cans of Prestone windshield deicer for 50 cents each as well as some "anti-stick" spray for shovels and snowblowers again for 50 cents a can over in automotive.

This.
the one time i went into WW and saw them stocking the shelves, ammo all over the floor behind counter, was taken back. was a holy fuck moment because for years they've been mostly empty and picked over.

I'm telling the truth, if you follow my posts on this thread this Walmart has had a good supply of 22lr for the whole month of March and when I was there on the 18th there was so much I was astounded, I haven't seen that much in years, and not just at Walmart but anywhere, last Sunday they still had quite a few 100 round boxes left but it looked like only stuff left over from the week before, a new trend or a one time thing, who knows, the other 2 Walmarts near me had no 22lr.

No problem, I was having a very bad day Sunday and was in a foul mood, my apologies

Usually they do. The last time I was there, they had the 100 round packs. I bought 3.

Tullytown Walmart got in some more 22lr, this is just part of the 22 shelves,
and some steel ammo cans as well. For some reason I can't get both photos to post off my phone, I tried again from my computer but it just won't upload and I have no idea why. They had about 20 Remington golden bullet bricks of 525 rounds for $29.66 and tons of 100 round Winchester 22 lr and magnum
