Ammo Purchase Accounting

 The year is almost over. Thus my ammo purchases⁷ for the year are probably complete but that may change with another order or two yet to come, who knows.

 

Anyway, I just checked my Target Sports USA orders for the year. I made a total of 14 purchases from them (13 ammo purchases and one Ammo+ membership); that is just over one per month on average. My invoice totals amounted to a grand total of $3,239.36, or an average purchase price of of $231.38. If nothing else  I figure ammo is a good hedge against tough financial times. Of course, it will also be an excellent tidbit added to the inheritance my son and daughter who will receive it sooner, or I hope, later.

 

The total number of rounds I bought from TSUSA so far this year was 8,690. I picked up a case of 1,000 rounds of Wolf 7.62X39mm soft point; a case of 1,000 rounds of PMC 5.56X45mm 62 grain, green tipped, FMJ ammo; four cases of 1,000 rounds each of various brands of 9mm FMJ ammo; 1,000 rounds of Remington Target .22 LR; 140 rounds of .35 REM; and some: .357 M8⁷agnum, .380 ACP, and .32 Auto.

 

 If for nothing else, when added to my overall ammo inventory, I am well set with ammo for the Zombie Apocalypse, first contact with violent space aliens, an invasion by China, or to help put down an insurgency.

 

Being I am an Ammo+ member at TSUSA, I saved 8% on my orders which worked out to a savings of $259.14. That is not bad considering the Ammo+ membership cost me $110.24, including tax, for a one year membership. Considering that TSUSA often has the best prices on ammo when you consider all things like cost of the ammo, tax and shipping, the ammo club membership is a nice way to save even more. To me, it seems well worth the cost; that is if you buy enough ammo to make it worth your while. An added  benefit is that membership gives you free shipping on any amount of ammo you buy from them. Normally, without the membership they give free shipping only on ammo purchases by the case.

 

I do not receive any form of compensation from TSUSA, or from any other source, for this post or my other blog posts about them. I simply like to share, with other law abiding firearms enthusiasts, what I think are their excellent prices, info on their Ammo+ membership and other info, like them shipping fast, and having good customer service. They are my first in line go to online ammo dealer and I rarely shop elsewhere for ammo if they have what I want in stock.

 

All the best,
