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.
 
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!

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!
 
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.

If you go to a Sam's and they appear to3 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.

I've done the same, I am mixing between AA lithium rechargeables and normal alkaline batteries for the summer and lowering my capture intervals from 15-20 min up to 60 min on the cameras. Cannot afford the batteries anymore haha.

I'll run the disposable lithium AA starting November when I don't want to get to the cameras every month.

Comparisons like this are silly. "Her first check for 14 hours was more than mine for 40 hours a week in 1986". Pure silliness. Also, cost of a candybar in 1986 from a gas station? $2?

Things have certainly changed! When I started with the Federal Government in 1986, as a professional Geographer, I was making $14.2K a year and thinking I was rich! When I made my first promotion the next year, I was making $17.2K a year and living in one of the nicest apartment complexes in town (rent was $340/month).

Same here. I run a mix of rechargeable and alkaline batteries from April to September, then run a mix of rechargeable and lithium batteries from October to March, depending on type of camera (cell vs non-cell), and how difficult it is to access and change batteries. AA batteries in all of my cams.

Andy, I believe you are the one that gave me this idea, and its working great so far, the alkaline batteries work fine unless you have trigger intervals set very low. Thanks for the idea, saving me some cash!
 
I ordered some regular off brand alkaline batteries online for .22 cents apiece. Used them before and worked great. I use lithium starting in the fall and order some called bevigor or something like that. About $1.75 each. They also worked great.
