It's unlikely that you will. Shipping cost of 12 gauge really really ruins it. It can be occasionally bought at Dicks for cheaper when you catch it on a sale/rebate. And often whatever local venue you're shooting at will be competitive with Wally World. For example, The Fairfax Rod & Gun club has (currently) 12 gauge birdshot for 5.50 a box, tax included. That's cheaper than Wal-Mart.
All that said, of course, Wally World is hard to beat for "simple" stuff, since they buy it by the freighter.
As far as self defense ammo goes, well, you only need about 100 rounds or so of it, so I'd just support my local gunshop for that.
