This morning I picked up 4-packs of AAs and AAAs for $0.74 each; 8-packs of AAs for $1.74. Expiration 2018.
ymmv
My local store had 4xAA packs of ulimate lithium or 6.99 which isn’t too terrible. None of the old advanced lithiums though.
I stopped in a different OD store on the way home last night, and they were also out of the Advanced lithiums. The price on the hook said $2.00 for a 4-pack - more than what I paid, but still a great deal.
and making a buck or two too.
I'd be stopping at every office depot in my area if I saw that deal too .. worth the price of gas
Why dont we have those deals here in Japan.. we pay around 15 dollars for a set of 4 AA`s..
like here
Its a shame I cant find any good deals on batteries here!
(eneloops are around 200yen (about 2dollars) each.. so a pack of four will be around 8-9 dollars.. maybe a good price, but it doesnt get lower than that)
Last night was a coupon for these:
For in-store pickup only, OfficeDepot offers Two Energizer Max Alkaline AA Batteries 4-Packs or Two Energizer Max Alkaline AAA Batteries 4-Pack for $2.90 via the directions below. That's $0.38 per battery and the best deal we could find on this quantity, of either type, by $9. Sales tax is added where applicable. To get this deal:
Is this a good deal? Does anyone know if these will make a small AA light (Xeno EO3) noticeably brighter than running rechargeable Ni-MH? I'm staying away from li-ions. I used to see Duracell AA at the .99 cents store, two batteries for .99, so this price doesn't seem that great. Input? Thanks.
I've seen better deals - just last Christmas, Lowes had either 36- or 48-packs of Rayovac AAs on sale for $6 (either 16.7 or 12.5 cents a piece), so I bought a couple packs. Some of the best deals I've found just happened while strolling through a store.
Some of my lights seem to benefit from higher voltage primaries, especially the above-mentioned lithiums running at 1.7 V (not lithium-ion, which is a whole other animal), but I'm not sure that's a hard and fast rule. I think it depends on the current draw of your specific light, and the ability of the battery to supply that current. Experts, help me out here.
batteries, batteries, batteries! Just came across these:
TITANIUM INNOVATIONS CR14505 CRAA 3V LITHIUM AA SIZED BATTERY
I'm thinking these will make my AA light shine bright without going the li-ion route. $1.50/ea at BatteryJunction.com
Guess I'll pass on the not so great Office Depot sale. I typed 'AA rechargeabl'e in the search box for E-Bay. Oh my goodness!
I imagine this is US only?
