My gun dealer told me he found some 9 mm yesterday, CCI blazer, fifty cents a round. I bought all five.
Much lower than online prices, he has some .223 for 15$ 20 round box

You paid 25.00 dollars a box for a 9.99 dollar box of ammo? Oh, you bought 5 rounds for 2.50, that’s much better.  Ammo has always righted itself after a hoarding scare. Why not just wait?

That's high but not bad considering today's market.
If it's the brass Blazer you could recoup some of that by saving the brass and reloading or selling it to someone who does.
It's worth policing up your brass nowadays.

My wife has always been against spending money on guns, hunting.
She thinks something could happen and we will need personal protection.
I haven't had a handgun since the .22 damaged my hearing when I was 21, I thought it would be cool to have a revolver like in western movies.
So wife tells me last year that we should get a couple guns for personal protection.
I said well, if you think we should I'll see if we have enough money for one!
If you say so!
I bought a ruger ar from a friend, looks like new.
I wasn't sure if I would get a handgun but she was ok with it.
I decided after looking at different brands I would get the Canik TP9SFX.
I had to wait a whole month for a permit to buy.
My dad is a retired MN deputy, I asked if he had any 9 mm bullets left over, he sold me his service smith and wesson, and I got 100+ hollow points with it!
The hollow points are hard to find.
With some more practice I think I will like the handgun, I got a pair of walker ear muffs, they are great!

Well done. The important thing is your training and that's good. Forget about the cost, train when ammo is high and train when it's less. It's a cheap price to pay when your life depends on it. My gun dealer told me he found some 9 mm yesterday, CCI blazer, fifty cents a round. I bought all five.

Picked up 4 boxes of 9 mm at scheels today, limit of one, so we went back in and got two more.
18.18$ better price That's a daily limit of one box each. I guess you're above following the rules?

And you are the quota police
We only went back in because I bought the wrong powder, I asked two different employees if it was what I would use in a 9 mm, they knew the answer, I didn't find out until I looked it up online in the car.
