That's just ugly pricing..
Is there any good prices on 22LR ammo these days?

I would love to buy a case of CCI-SV but can buy target grade ammo for that price! Eley Practice is less than $500 a case and Lapua standard plus is just over $500.
Ya, I didn't think it was to bad considering the shortage, and the fact that a well known supplier of ammo on this site sells them for $699+taxand advertising. 14 cents per bullet. So at. 9 cents per bullet, I'm happy
Picked up some Thanksgiving weekend:
CCI Mini Mag $8.49/100
Remington Golden Bullet High Velocity $3.99/50
Federal Champion LRN $2.49/50
I can breath a little easier as my supply has grown in the last few weeks, but I'm still on the lookout.

not to deviate too much from a pure pricing discussion, but what are some recommendations of brand/type that are a good value AND accurate?
i'm shooting a savage bolt action at a 40m target and currently using Winchester Wildcats, and the groups aren't pretty.
i'm talking 3", and i gotta believe it ain't all me. i'd like to step up to 100m, but obviously something has to improve first.
i'm not too keen on paying $80 a brick for top of the line eley. what else are people using that they're grouping tightly with, without paying triple the price of regular .22 ammo?

Have you tried Remington Subsonic? It is more accurate than bulk ammo and Wolverine has it in stock for 7.5 cents per round.

My Local CT in Barrie, just got a good shipment. Lots of the 333 and Remington bulk packs. No more M-22 (65$ per thousand, so 7 cents per round with tax. Not bad) though, I bought those, my pistol likes the round nose stuff! The cabelas in town only has Green Tag (20$ per hundred!), which I cant justify, doesn't really seem to shoot better in my Mk3 (my fault for sure).
CT really seems to be my go to these days for ammo... they always have something...

I'd give Eley, RWS, Norma, or Lapua a try.
With RWS Rifle Match ($7ish/50rnds) I've shot 1/4" groups at 50yds but average closer to 1/2". I'm using a Winchester Wildcat/TOZ 78.
With Eley practice and training ammo I regularly shoot 1/2" at 50yds and it's closer to $5-6/50rnds.
Wildcats are cheap bulk ammo. I usually keep a couple thousand around for when I have friends out shooting who can't tell the difference.
CCI Green Tag are pretty good too but not as good as the RWS Rifle Match and more expensive ($20/100 as some have mentioned).
If you can find them Federal Gold Medal 22lr ammo is pretty good as well.
The most important thing to remember is that all rifles like and dislike different types of ammo. Buy a bunch of 50-100rnd boxes and try out as many different brands/types as you can.
Cabela's has Winchester M22 in stock for $64.99 - 1000 rounds with Free black Friday shipping (code 99BLKFRI) minimum order for free shipping is $99
