Purchasing bulk ammo

I'd really like to have a good supply of ammo that counts, however, obviously most of my shooting is just going to consist of target practice at the range.
Just curious how others manage their back stock?

IMHO, a good goal for starting out would be...
Self defense/SHTF rifles: 5000 rounds per caliber with a mix of 80% milspec battle ammo and 20% cheap blasting ammo.
Self defense/SHTF handgun: 2500 rounds per caliber with a mix of 60% FMJ and 40% JHP
Self defense/SHTF shotgun: 1000 rounds per gauge with a mix of 40% of #4 - #8 birdshot, 40% of 00 - #3 Buck and 20% slugs.
Dedicated hunting rifles: 100-150 rounds per caliber should suffice.
Also, grab all the .22lr that you can get your hands on for 5 cents per round or less.

Usually I buy ten thousand round boxes when they go on sale.
Seriously, my goal is 1000 rounds of target per firearm, as much self defense as happens and 2500 rounds per rimfire. I am almost there, except for shotguns, I am buying birdshot and buckshot randomly.

The best price is 8 cents per round. Where do you fine 5 cent per round .22lr?
