18-pack at Sam's is $34.98

I also recently bought some Energizer Lithiums at Buc-cee's for a good price, just don't remember price.

Thanks friend. I'll pick up some tomorrow. Less than $2 each. I'll pay that.

If you go to a Sam's and they appear to be "out of stock", ask someone who works there to look in the back. Twice last fall I did that, and there were plenty in back, just not in public view.

Those ain't lithium batteries lol. And they also ain't energizer batteries

 

[BSK]

From my sources, best price I can find is $2.70/battery.

I was walking around my local COOP this week, they had energizer lithium AA 8 pk for 17.99. That's been the best price I've seen. I'm glad I stocked up with Academy and Bed Bath & beyond last year. I paid between 7-13 a pack. I got enough to last me 6-8 years now.

Oh sorry, I thought batteries were batteries

I tried! That's what we run in all our cams

LITHIUM....!! Do some of you put diesel in your lawnmower?

Alkaline batteries don't last anywhere near as long as lithium, and alkaline voltage output drops dramatically in cold weather. Some alkaline batteries stop functioning below 20 degrees.

At Sam's, day in, day out . . . . . . at least past few months

$34.98 + $3.32 (09.50% TN Sales Tax) = $38.30
Divided by 18 = $2.13 per lithium AA battery

If you use your Sam's Black MC, take off additional 5%.
= $2.04 per lithium AA battery

I occasionally find a better deal than this one at Sam's,
but this has been pretty stable there.

There have been times I've slightly beat or matched Sam's
at both Academy Sports & at Buc-ee's Travel Center.
Plus, last summer, Office Depot had the best deal of all for a while.
(Thanks to Speedwell-Hunter for telling us about that!)

Not sure why, but Buc-ee's Travel Center is consistently cheaper
than Wal-mart for both alkaline & lithium AA batteries.
And if you've never stopped at one, worth your time just to use the bathroom there!

 

[BSK]

Sadly, we don't have Buc-ee's in my part of the state. Although I've heard rumors that might change soon.

Not a Sam's member, but might be worth the cost to join just for the batteries! I need over 100 annually.

One of the membership perks is getting 5% off gasoline NO MATTER WHERE YOU BUY IT.
THIS is a bigger deal than the lithium battery prices for me.
All you have to do is use your Sam's Black MC (which is offered with membership) for gas purchases.
Also gives you 5% off whatever you buy from Sam's.

Getting 5% off on $4 a gallon gas equates to 20 cents off per gallon with every gas purchase.
You can also get this on top of other "per gallon" discounts such as Kroger periodically giving 10 cents (or more) off per gallon, or Shell giving you 3 to 5 cents off (by typing in your Alternate ID at the pump).

Ooooo!

 

[Antler Daddy]

you need a 100 packs or 100 batteries?

I wouldn't lose much sleep over overpaying for 100 batteries.

We are members at Costco and Sams Club. Both have some different items I want. I at least break even and only step foot in Wal-mart a couple of times a year.

Daughter just started her first job in Starbucks kiosk at Kroger. Her first check for 14 hours was more than mine for 40 hours a week in 1986.
