I went into Academy Sports yesterday to buy a 1-pound bottle of Triple-7 powder for a friend who needed it for his muzzle stuffer. The bottle had a price sticker that read $39.99 and was my only purchase. The clerk ran it through his scanner and announced the final total is $50 and change, and I answered him with an "Excuse me..." He answered back they had just raised the price of this product to $45, then plus tax your cost is $50 and change. That was when I answered the store had 2 bottles of this same product, both wearing a price tag of $39.99. He looked down at the bottle and price sticker, deleted the previous purchase, manually inserted the sticker price and announced a final price at $43.69. I paid that price and found the exit door before they could change their mind. In his side talk that clerk stated the store was raising the price on most ammo and components due to Bidenomics. Academy has always offered their products at affordable prices but they are not immune from the forces working against their economy. Yes, I will continue to check their products in the future but will compare their prices against other suppliers.
