Cheapest AA batteries?

Options
Hi,

can anyone advise me where the cheapest non-rechargeable AA batteries can be bought off-line? i'm going to Glastonbury next week and suddenly realised i need to stock up ASAP!

I haven't seen any on offer in ASDA or Tesco or the like this week...

  • You just missed grabitnow's free four-pack of AA batteries. Poundland's a good place to check out, I should imagine.

    ... Poundland's a good place to check out, I should imagine.
    It certainly would be :)

    8 x Sony AA

    or a load of Kodak ones, 12 or 16 pack I can't remember exactly

    There's also Hitachi (?) ones in multipacks but I don't know how good they are.

    Hi don't whether you've one near you but we usually stock up on batteries at Instore.
  • Rechargable ones will help prevent the adding to the used battery mountain!

    Duracell Plus AA are only £2.99 with FREE shipping... and there's a discount code flying about at the moment: GBXPXV knocks £10 off orders over £50 (that's 20%!!!) but runs out on 20th July.

    Using the discount code brings them down to £2.39 with free UK delivery. WOW!
