Question 16 GA Trap/cheap shells?

I went out shooting for the first time this week and unloaded about 35 rounds in about a half hour breakin clays all over the place. Good old fashion fun, only problem is I have a 16 GA 2 3/4 and live in the boondocks so I can't find any cheap shooting trap shells in my area.

Anyone know where to find them online i've tried but couldn't find any, thanks.

Discount Hunting Supplies & Shooting Supplies - Able Ammo Look at the Lead Game Loads. Or Sporting Goods Equipment - Fishing, Camping, Hunting, Boating, Marine, & Outdoors Gear & Equipment - Bass Pro Shops

Midway don't carry them. But if you find something you like MidwayUSA — Shooting Supplies, Reloading, Gunsmithing, Ammunition, Gun Parts & Rifle Scopes

Finding inexpensive 16 gauge shells might not happen. You may be able to find some cheaper than others, but I am unsure if you will be able to buy any for under 8 dollars a box. The same can be said for .410 shells.

I walked into a Kmart that was remodeling last year, and they were selling ammo at clearance prices. They had a stack of 16g shells that had been kicking around for so long the boxes were worn and fuzzy, and I ran off with them all for a couple of bucks a box.

I guess I'd go through them pretty fast trap-shooting. But I have a Stevens bolt-action 16g I only use on rabbits, so they're lasting pretty well. They're a mix of different loads, but the bunnies don't seem to be choosy about which one they're killed with...

Inexpensive shotgun ammo is mostly to be found on clearance sales, or by better shoppers then me. If you are thinking about shooting that thing enough to make it worthwhile, Loading for it might be an interesting additional "hobby". I have been thinking about getting started on loading for 12g myself recently.
