They have North Tech alkaline batteries, 60 pack for $8. They are also doing the 11 percent rebate thing, not worth it for a pack of batteries, but I did a little remodeling so I'll just add it to the rebate form. That is about 12 cents per cell, excellent deal! For those not in the know, for the VAST majority of uses, alkalines are alkalines are alkalines. It doesn't matter if it is cheap or duracell. The high end ones MAY be less likely to leak in adverse conditions, but if it is critical equipment that doesn't get used regularly you should have lithium batteries in it. For everyday use these 12 cent batteries will do 98 percent of what a duracell will do (as LONG as we are talking alkalines, and not heavy duty batteries).
Sadly my local menards didn't have any AA's sitting out, and looking at the boxes of stock on the racking I didn't see any of that SKU so they may be out. I did pick up a box of AAA's though and they had a lot of those. I haven't really bought a lot of batteries since I have been investing in and using eneloops, but for this price I cannot pass it up!
