The best way to keep shooting is so stack it high and deep when the price is
cheap.  At one time I used to grab a semi brick of 550 rounds of .22 at
Walmart because their bulk price beat out any of the local gun shops.  If I'm
buying a pair of socks or some shirts, I'd grab a box of .22.  If I'm buying
groceries, a trick to the sporting goods counter was justifialble.  Over some
time I built up a stash to shhot through and stopped picking ammo up.  Prices
had jumped considerably and I wished I would've kept buying cheaper ammo.
